Homeowner Called ICE on Migrants She Hired, Worker Says
- On Wednesday, a homeowner in Cambridge, Maryland, allegedly called Immigration and Customs Enforcement on a roofing crew she hired, leading to the detention of six Guatemalan workers as they neared completion of the job.
- According to viral TikTok footage, the homeowner allegedly owed the crew approximately $10,000 for three days of labor, with accusations she contacted authorities to avoid payment after the work was nearly finished.
- Bryan Polanco, a legal coworker on the crew, livestreamed the encounter for approximately 30 minutes and later confronted the homeowner on camera, accusing her of waiting until the project was nearly finished before calling authorities.
- Aaron Reichlin-Melnick of the American Immigration Council warned that if allegations are true, the homeowner could face felony charges under the Maryland Criminal Law Code for using immigration enforcement to induce breach of contract.
- While some observers view the incident as a criminal attempt to weaponize immigration law, others argue it reflects public demand for cooperation with ICE and the removal of individuals lacking legal status.
