Federal agents raided a concrete factory in West Burlington Thursday and arrested 18 people on immigration charges, officials said.

The detainees were employees of Iowa Prestressed Concrete, according to the U.S. attorney's office. The raid began at about 9:30 a.m. and the group was loaded into a bus and brought to Davenport for court appearances.

The workers are accused of misusing visas, permits, Social Security numbers and other documents
