JEFFERSON CITY, MO -- Dozens of suspected illegal immigrants were taken into custody after an investigation at Missouri's state capitol.

The two month long investigation by local law enforcement and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents (ICE) found that Sam's Janitorial Service allegedly employed dozens of suspected illegal workers.

On Tuesday, Governor Matt Blunt announced he was canceling the state contract with Sam's Janitorial Service, as well as enacting tougher restrictions for other state contracts.

A state audit was also ordered on all state contractors to ensure that all employees working with the state are legally eligible to work in the U-S.
