Two people were arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents Wednesday morning in the parking lot of Thermoflex Corporation in Waukegan, according to the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR).
The organization’s Lake County Rapid Response Team confirmed ICE activity at the manufacturing plant, located at 1514 South Lakeside Drive, and said agents detained two people at the site. The arrests occurred less than two months after federal agents made another immigration-related arrest at a nearby Uline warehouse on Lakeside Drive, according to Lake & McHenry County Scanner.
ICIRR reminded residents who encounter federal agents that they have the right to remain silent, speak with an attorney, refuse to sign documents and record police activity.
