Obviously, this is making Democrats upset
ICE investigating 15 Delaware businesses suspected of employing undocumented immigrants
Federal authorities in Delaware and Gov. Matt Meyer’s administration have locked horns over a four-month-old subpoena from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for payroll records of 15 businesses suspected of illegally “employing undocumented aliens,’’ U.S. District Court records show.
Most records in the case filed last week in Wilmington are under seal, including the April subpoena and an affidavit by federal Homeland Security Investigations special agent Kimberly Caraway. Records that have been made public in the court file provide the general contours of the battle but not the names of the companies being targeted by ICE.
ICE has been “investigating reports that various businesses” have been breaking immigration hiring laws since February, according to a motion filed last week by Julianne Murray, the interim U.S. Attorney for Delaware, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Claudia Pare. (big snip)
U.S. District Court Judge Colm Connolly consented to Murray and Pare’s motion to keep the subpoena and Caraway’s affidavit under seal.
The prosecutors want Connolly to enforce the subpoena for the businesses’ records, but an attorney for the Department of Labor told him in court this week that the state will be contesting it.
This is a federal subpoena for work records to enforce federal law. What’s the problem? Why’s this taking so long?
“Since taking office in January, our administration has consistently prioritized protecting Delawareans from federal overreach that undermines our core values of fairness, dignity, and community trust,’’ Meyer said. “The recent federal subpoena directed at the Department of Labor is precisely the kind of government intrusion that we have fought against. Hard-working Delawareans deserve to have their rights and privacy protected. Delaware will continue to uphold the law, protect individual rights, and promote a compassionate and inclusive state for every resident.”

Except, they are not Americans. They are illegally present. Why is that so hard to understand. The law states they should not be here.
Our good friends on the left claimed that it was wholly unfair to target the illegals and not the employers who hired them. Now the First State is upset that employers are being investigated.
Lock up a few company bosses for knowingly hiring illegals, and all of the rest will get right with the law in a hurry!
That’s why there are HR departments. Bosses never have to know who is getting hired.
I thought that MAGA claimed that none of them were working or paying taxes just sitting around playing with their free phones and eating cats and dogs ?
Under Biden they went after gang members.
Not people working and paying taxes.
Dana estimates are that 50% of agricultural workers in AL are undocumented. Have you seen any? If you do see any sketch workers on farms around you will you contact ICE ?
Teach remember that ICE has removed the age cap on new hires. Will you be stepping up and joining? You are always chastising “libs” for not practicing what they preach. Will you join ICE and stop this “invasion of military aged men”?
