At least 22 Guatemalans were arrested during raids of the Immigration and Customs Control Service (ICE) in OMAHA, Nebraska, where the agents entered a food processor and took more than 100 migrants, official sources reported.
Local media reported that 97 people were arrested last Tuesday at a meat processing plant, and more than one dozen in a dairy supplier, in Omaha, Nebraska.
They detail that the detainees were transferred to a prison in another city.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MINEX) confirmed that 22 nationals were apprehended during the ICE operation in a food processor in OMAHA and that the Consulate of Guatemala in Nebraska follows up the cases.
The Consular Network informs that, in addition to these 22 Guatemalan migrants, there are also assistance to 28 nationals arrested in the operations of June 6 in Los Angeles; 11 Guatemalans apprehended in Chamblee, Georgia, in an operation of May 28; and 5 nationals arrested in Charlotte, North Carolina, transferred to the Stewart detention Center, in southern Georgia.
It was reported that only one of them asked to speak with the Atlanta consulate and was treated by the area of assistance and protection.
In addition, the nationalities of migrants arrested in an operation in Home Depot and a Canton gas station are not confirmed last June 6.
It is also pending to confirm the nationality of 6 detainees in a demonstration in Brookhaven County, New York, on June 10. It is important that the nationals ask for assistance to the consulates to be able to follow up on each case and provide free migratory legal advice through the consular network, says the Minex.
