ICE Sweeping up ‘Essential Workers’ as Raids Spread Nationwide
- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained Moises Sotelo last week amid expanding raids targeting illegal immigrant workers across the United States.
- These increased enforcement actions follow ICE’s focus on removing illegal immigrants, including nonviolent workers, driven by high arrest quotas and broad targeting.
- Raids have arrested 84 workers at a Louisiana racetrack and fourteen farmworkers in New York, often occurring near sites such as Home Depot stores where day laborers gather.
- Sotelo, a well-known member of Oregon’s vineyard community and recipient of the 2020 Vineyard Excellence Award, was transferred over 1,500 miles during his detention, while supporters in his community have raised more than $100,000 to assist him amid limited updates from ICE.
- The enforcement wave has caused fear among workers and businesses, disrupting labor availability and prompting calls for clear guidance on employee protections and proper hiring.
