True. Here's some progress:81 illegal immigrants arrested in Poconos, 6/20/07

EAST STROUDSBURG (AP) -- Federal immigration authorities arrested 81 illegal immigrants at a tube manufacturing plant in the Poconos.

All 81 workers arrested in the raid Tuesday at Iridium Industries Inc.'s Artube division have been placed in removal proceedings for eventual deportation, said Ernestine Fobbs, a spokeswoman with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The immigrants, who are from Mexico, Indonesia, Malaysia and Ecuador, were taken to ICE detention centers for processing, she said.

Ms. Fobbs declined to say what led ICE agents to raid the plant.

The company makes plastic squeeze tubes for lotions and other consumer products, according to its Web site.
