ICE arrests 2 undocumented workers at Butler County Jail

Two construction workers, a father and son, were arrested at the Butler County Jail for being in the country illegally while working on renovation projects. Sheriff Richard Jones reported that the workers presented fake identification, stating it was among the best he had ever seen, and noted that one had been deported previously. The arrests mark the first 'worksite enforcement' action in Butler County, with the sheriff announcing increased collaboration with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Jones expressed disbelief that undocumented workers could gain access to a secured facility like the jail using fake IDs. The jail has provided ICE with space to detain individuals facing immigration violations, highlighting the sheriff's commitment to enforcing immigration laws. Further details about the contractors' employer have not been disclosed as the investigation continues.
