HIAWATHA, Iowa— Federal Immigration officials say nine roofers have been arrested in the middle of a job in Hiawatha for being in the country illegally.
KCRG-TV in Cedar Rapids says the roofers were arrested Wednesday morning, after they had removed about 80 percent of the shingles from a house.
Immigration and Custom Enforcement officials say the workers are from Mexico and are now in custody. Three of the cases have been referred to the U.S. attorney's office .
The workers were employed by a subcontractor for Eastern Iowa Construction. Company president Jeremy Bleeker says his business went through an ICE inspection nine months ago and received a clean record. He says the arrests "came out of the blue."
ICE officials say if the workers can't provide documentation Bleeker could be held liable.
