Illegal Immigrants Arrested Following Raid in Amherst

Nearly two dozen illegal aliens are in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, after a raid Wednesday morning.

I.C.E. agents and Lamb County Sheriff's deputies served search warrants at two Amherst dairies around 8am.

A spokesperson for I.C.E. says agents found 17 people working illegally, at 5 Star Dairy and Milk Harvest Dairy in Amherst, about 50 miles northwest of Lubbock. The suspects include 5 women and 12 men.

A similar raid happened at these same two dairies in May 2006. Wednesday's raid came after information revealed that some of the same suspects had returned to work at the dairy.
