ICE ARRESTS 59 AT NORTHERN VIRGINIA RESORT

Though the ICE press release does not state the resort, local media reports the targeted employer was the Lansdowne Resort near Leesburg. The arrests were of employees only and are the follow up from a June 2007 I-9 audit. The pattern of an ICE raid following an I-9 audit has become more pronounced of late. The arrests were administrative in nature and will result in removals. No criminal arrests were made of either company officials or employees.
