Sheriff: ICE stages morning roundup of undocumented immigrants<\/strong><\/p>\n

Agents with the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency made an early morning sweep Monday in Glynn County, arresting as many as two dozen undocumented immigrants, according to Glynn County Sheriff Neal Jump.<\/p>\n

The arrival of ICE agents here caused a stir throughout the county, particularly among working-class immigrants, documented or otherwise. Those working in construction, landscaping, painting and other blue collar jobs reported numerous no-shows among immigrant workers who feared being deported.<\/p>\n

The News received several such calls from employers and concerned residents Monday.<\/p>\n

Jump confirmed that ICE agents out of Savannah used the sheriff\u2019s office parking lot off U.S. Highway 341 as a staging ground for the operation. No deputies with the sheriff\u2019s office took part in the operation, Jump said. ICE officials contacted him in advance about the federal agency\u2019s desire to use the sheriff\u2019s office compound as a staging ground, he added.<\/p>\n

Jump said the ICE agents arrived before dawn and the operation was complete before 8 a.m. Those taken into custody were returned to ICE facilities in Savannah, Jump said<\/p>\n

\u201cThey did let me know that they were in town, but none of our resources were needed or used,\u201d Jump said. \u201cBut they did stage in our parking lot. I don\u2019t know who they arrested, but everyone they picked up, they took back to Savannah.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was over 20 (people) and not less than 30 (people). They started around 5 a.m. and they were done by 7:30 a.m.,\u201d the sheriff said.<\/p>\n

Glynn County Police Chief John Powell said he knew nothing of the ICE operation. ICE is an arm of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they are doing a roundup, we are not aware of it,\u201d Powell said. \u201cThey have no obligation to tell what they\u2019re doing. We\u2019ve had several news outlets contact us, but we are unaware of any action.\u201d<\/p>\n

A man identifying himself as ICE\u2019s agent-in-charge in Savannah could not comment further, referring all questions to ICE\u2019s regional offices in Atlanta. Bryan Cox, regional communications director for ICE, said any action targeting undocumented immigrants that may have taken place in Glynn County would not be considered beyond the agency\u2019s normal day-to-day enforcement activities.
