Dozens arrested in raid at Tropicana Field
Tampa Bay Business Journal - 1:46 PM EDT Fridayby Agustina Guerrero
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 31 cleaning-crew members from Knight FM at Tropicana Field Wednesday.
The raid in search of illegal aliens at the Tampa Bay Devil Rays' home stadium came after ICE received a tip about the potential law violations there, Pamela McCullough, public affairs officer of ICE's Tampa office, said.
Twenty-five of the workers were prosecuted in state court in Pinellas County for possessing and utilizing fraudulent documents. Removal proceedings are under way for the other six, McCullough said.
The workers arrested are predominantly Mexican. Some are Guatemalan.
"The individuals who were arrested were employed by subcontractors working for the stadium cleaning contractor," said Richard L. Vaughn, VP of communications for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. "They are not Devil Rays employees. We have pledged to give the authorities our full cooperation in this matter and will have no further comment."
Knight FM also handles the cleaning services at Raymond James Stadium, a company spokesperson said.Support our FIGHT AGAINST illegal immigration & Amnesty by joining our E-mail Alerts at http://eepurl.com/cktGTn
