The underground grapevine has been buzzing the past few weeks with news that a potential ICE raid was brewing in Mississippi. Looks like the rumors were true.

Federal immigration agents raided a major manufacturing plant in south Mississippi on Monday, but it wasn’t immediately clear how many illegal workers were taken into custody.

Barbara Gonzalez, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman, said the target of the operation was Howard Industries Inc. in Laurel, a town of about 18,000 people located about 85 miles southeast of Jackson.
