Nearly 40 undocumented immigrants hired by contractors working on three military bases in Georgia, Virginia and Nevada were arrested over the last three days by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, the agency said Friday. In the largest arrest, 21 illegal immigrant workers were charged with identity theft and immigration violations for attempting to enter Fort Benning. They were among 24 workers arrested Wednesday while trying to enter the base to do construction work on soldiers’ barracks. The three workers who are not facing criminal charges will be placed in immigration removal proceedings. Click here for the full story.
