GILBOA, N.Y. (AP) - Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested 31 workers at a children's summer camp in the Catskills early this morning.

Officials say the construction workers are illegal aliens, mostly from Central America. They were employed by two companies working as subcontractors at a camp in Gilboa.

The workers will be charged with being illegally present in the United States and will be detained pending immigration proceedings.

State Police and officers from the Delaware County and Schoharie County Sheriff's Offices were also involved in the arrests today.
