Feds crack down on illegal labor in Danbury - Connecticut

“Danbury area employers who knowingly hire undocumented immigrants could be targeted next by federal immigration agents who last month arrested 11 illegal day laborers looking for work at a downtown gathering place.

“This is part of increased national enforcement and is not unique to Danbury,” Mayor Mark Boughton said of the arrests, part of the government’s “Return to Sender” effort to deport illegal immigrants. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials arrested 11 Ecuadorians after the laborers climbed into an unmarked ICE van for what they thought was a day job. Instead, they were taken to Hartford for processing and deportation.”
