U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed it conducted “worksite enforcement” at Suehay Tortilleria in McAllen on Friday.

It’s not immediately clear whether anyone was detained or arrested. ICE only issued a statement that did not include information about whether anyone was taken into custody.

That statement only said that ICE conducted worksite enforcement at Suehay Tortilleria “in response to information or allegations received by ICE Homeland Security Investigations.”

The agency said that any allegation received is taken seriously and could result in an investigation.

“ICE HSI is tasked with enforcing the business community’s compliance with federal employment eligibility requirements and has the responsibility to conduct comprehensive worksite enforcement initiatives targeting employers who violate employment laws,” a statement read.

Furthermore, ICE said in the statement that anyone in the country illegally “may be subject to arrest, detention, and, if ordered removed by an immigration judge or other authority, subject to removal from the United States.”

No other information was immediately available.
