ICE Arrests 37 in Immigration Raid at Mt. Baker Roofing, Washington

Federal immigration agents conducted a raid at Mt. Baker Roofing in Bellingham, Washington, on Wednesday, resulting in the arrest of 37 individuals suspected of having fraudulent immigration documentation. Witnesses reported a dramatic scene with agents arriving with weapons and detaining workers, with one employee describing the experience as frightening. ICE spokesperson David Yost confirmed that the operation was part of a broader criminal investigation into the illegal hiring of undocumented workers. Mt. Baker Roofing stated that it is cooperating with authorities while ensuring fair treatment for its employees. Although the number of arrests is higher than during the Biden administration, it does not reach the large-scale deportations seen during previous administrations. The focus on immigration enforcement continues, albeit through smaller, scattered operations compared to past practices.
