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.
