Two have been taken to the Belmont County Jail and the other two were released to their employer because they are under a Temporary Protective Status.

The men entered the country in Houston and Arizona, police said.

A representative of the Kentucky-based company that employs the workers was cited due to a recently passed ordinance prohibiting the use of unauthorized workers.
