ICE New Orleans Arrests 14 Illegal Workers

KENNER, La.—ICE agents arrested 14 illegal aliens working for a contractor at a petrochemical plant in suburban New Orleans on December 13.

The arrested workers were scheduled to work at the Conoco Phillips Alliance Refinery in Belle Chasse, La. All of the arrested workers possessed counterfeit social security cards and identity documents.

The illegal workers were arrested at the Greater New Orleans Industrial Education Council (GNOIEC), a non-profit organization that provides safety-training classes for workers at petrochemical plants in the greater New Orleans area. ICE has been working with the GNOIEC organization to train their staff and assist in identifying foreign nationals who use counterfeit documents to obtain employment at critical infrastructure sites. The training program has been successful, and ICE and GNOIEC routinely work together to share information.

The arrests are part of an ongoing ICE criminal investigation of subcontractors operating in the petroleum industry. Critical infrastructures such as airports, defense installations and bio-agriculture industries are an ICE law enforcement priority.
