ICE Raids Montgomery County Business Detaining at Least a Dozen People
WEST NORRITON TOWNSHIP, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, JUL 16 – ICE agents detained 14 individuals without legal status during a federal investigation targeting immigration violations at a West Norriton supermarket, officials said.
- On Wednesday morning, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided the Super Gigante Farmers Market and detained 14 individuals in West Norriton Township, Montgomery County.
- The operation followed federal court authorization and occurred amid escalating enforcement actions directed by policies issued since President Trump's second term.
- The raid involved more than two dozen ICE agents and 25 vehicles, with some agents in tactical gear, sparking fear and protests in the largely Hispanic Norristown community.
- ICE confirmed 14 detainees lacking legal status, pending removal proceedings, while some might avoid criminal charges due to statute limitations on using others’ Social Security numbers over five years ago.
- The enforcement triggered community vigils, official appeals for restraint, and ongoing legal reviews, highlighting tensions between immigration enforcement and local immigrant communities.
