Seventeen people were arrested at a beverage company during a raid by federal immigration agents in Kent on Tuesday.

Immigration enforcement officers can be seen escorting a line of nine men and seven women in handcuffs and ankle restraints out of a warehouse and onto a bus in a video posted online by immigration lawyer Luis Cortes Romero. Another person who was arrested is not seen in the video.

Officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and three other agencies, including the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division, executed a search warrant at Eagle Beverage and Accessories Products, ICE spokesperson David Yost said in a statement. He said the agencies were investigating the “unlawful employment” of people who didn’t have legal authorization to work.

The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

1. It's strange that all these evil "criminals " have jobs.

I never read about ICE breaking up a gang war or criminal operation. And who the heck is going to be willing to step into these jobs?

2. Are we safe yet? Ordinary workers are ever so dangerous to our "Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.

You know, those heroes who wear masks and body armor to arrest non-Aryans.

3. I reckon they arrested the plant's management for illegally hiring undocumented workers.
