ICE raid targets Danville area workers

Danville, Pa. — Multiple traffic stops in the Danville area led to the detention of people suspected of being in the country illegally Sept. 2, while a separate account from an immigrant-rights organization alleges that federal immigration agents arrested at least 41 workers at a construction site at Geisinger Medical Center that same day.

Mahoning Township police officers conducted traffic stops for alleged violations and, after determining that some occupants were in the country illegally, transferred them to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, Police Chief Fred Dyroff said.
