In the past few weeks, ICE has engaged in other large-scale raids across Louisiana. On May 27, the agency raided a federally funded flood-reduction project in New Orleans and reported arresting 15 Central American workers. And the agency said it arrested 10 Chinese nationals working at massage parlors in Baton Rouge during a June 11 raid.

ICE arrested more than 80 undocumented workers at the Delta Downs Racetrack in Louisiana. The raid disrupted the racetrack’s operations and angered horse racing industry leaders. ICE said the operation targets illegal employment networks threatening American jobs.
