Burning Atlanta

I wish our candy ass government would just let these guys do their jobs. I have no doubt that much of this is just a show but, damn, it's not like ICE agents wouldn't like to be unleashed. I'd love to see that. These piddly raids here and there are causing illegals and their supporters to wet themselves. The reason is because, for so many years, they knew that once they got in they were virtually home-free and untouchable.

Thank You, ICE

BALTIMORE -- Immigration agents arrested more than 50 people Thursday in raids on a temporary employment agency's offices and places where it provided undocumented workers, including the port of Baltimore, authorities said.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement also seized a bank account containing more than $600,000 from the employment agency, Jones Industrial Network, which provides workers in the Baltimore area.

An exact number of officials and temporary workers arrested was not immediately released. Jones officials were not arrested or charged, although ICE officials said their investigation continued.

Jones is the only company that has been targeted criminally, and all others involved in the raids have cooperated, ICE officials said.

A lawyer for sportswear maker Under Armour Inc., which was also raided, said the Baltimore company was not aware that employees were illegal immigrations.

The company has cooperated fully with the investigation, of which it is not a target, and it is considering legal action against the temp agency, general counsel Kevin Haley said.

"At Under Armour, we are patriots first and last, and we're fully committed to compliance with all laws and regulations," Haley said. "We're furious that apparently one of the temp agencies we use was not so committed or gave the appearance of being not so committed."
