ICE Raid at New Bedford Fish House Leads to at Least Eight Arrests
Mar 6, 2007·Location: New Bedford, MA
ICE conducted an enforcement operation at a fish processing house in New Bedford, Massachusetts, resulting in at least eight workers being arrested. No further details about the individuals involved were provided in available reporting. This is distinct from a separate, earlier ICE raid in New Bedford in March 2007 at the Michael Bianco Inc. leather goods factory, which involved roughly 300 ICE agents detaining about 300 workers and led to an estimated 150 deportations, including that of Maria del Carmen Villeda, who later returned to the U.S. and sought asylum.
