Federal immigration agents raid east Houston plant, 170 detained

Carolyn Hileman - The Voice* | June 25, 2008

Federal immigration agents have detained at least 170 workers at an east Houston plant as they conduct a major raid to investigate allegations that the company is employing illegal immigrants. The raid, involving 150 to 200 agents, was launched about 7 a.m. at Action Rags U.S.A, 1225 Port Houston, just north of the Houston Ship Channel. Officials would not specify the information that led them to plan the raid, which is at least the second major immigration enforcement action in Houston in recent months.
