CHICAGO - Twenty-three illegal alien workers were arrested in the Joliet area Wednesday morning by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents as part of an ongoing worksite enforcement investigation. The illegal workers, 16 men and seven women, were employed by ANNA II Inc., a staffing company at 801 Golf Lane in Bensenville, according to a release from ICE. The firm provides day laborers to various warehouses throughout the Chicago area.

ICE made the arrests at the Rock Run Business Park in Joliet after three vans picked up workers in Chicago?s Pilsen neighborhood and transported them to that location, according to the release. The driver of a fourth van was taken into custody in Des Plaines.

ICE agents also executed a criminal search warrant at ANNA II?s Bensenville location, and the investigation remains ongoing, according to the release.

YES! I hope this means it’s Illinois turn for the raids!! I am still waiting, but all I ever hear about are small ones like this. I hope they shut down ANNA II Inc was well.

Bensenville! Not that I want to give them any pointers, but Bensenville is one of communities that borders the county. This is about ¼ mile outside of sanctuary Cook County.

This is interesting because about a week ago in a strip mall, also in Bensenville, I was walking out a store, with my head down reading the lottery ticket I just bought, and almost got hit by car. When I looked up I saw that it was a Border Patrol car. After it sunk in I said (a bit loud) “OK Boys – Go Getemâ€

Was this in the mainstream newspapers?! I did see this in La Raza this morning. Here's the translation.

I don't live far from Joilet. We have numerous 'Job Centers' in Waukegan...

Remember the Chicago (sanctuary city) press is soft on illegal aliens.

Indeed they are and whenever and wherever they can avoid giving names or status they avoid it. There are illegal aliens of all race living scattered all over Illinois. Have either of you guys heard anything further about the lawsuit?

WhatMattersMost,


What matters most (no pun intended) is that we lose the effect, the effect that just may get others packing on their own. I heard somewhere that for every one illegal deported there are four others that leave on their own, in fear of getting deported themselves.

why can't you start flooding the editorial section? I would ask why we have to read news from the media stream and not our local newspapers. Ask them why they aren't doing their job of reporting the news. All the news!

I live here and not one word in our newspaper.

Glad to see somebody is reporting it.

ITA. What bothers me the most is that people in Chicago are angry but seem to go the other way everytime the illegals have marches. I work downtown and everytime they have had a march I have scheduled my lunch breaks to go out and shout them down as they march coveted by the CPD (overtime taxpayer funded) and unmarked cars who guard them with their lives.

There was only one occasion where 2 or 3 others shouted them down with me, everybody else was going along their merry way as if it didn't matter that these people were here illegally.

Which lawsuit?

The lawsuit filed againt Illinois by DHS.
