MEMPHIS, Tenn. March 27 2008 -- Federal officials have announced that they have arrested 34 workers at the Memphis International Airport believed to be illegal immigrants working on the new Tennessee Air National Guard base.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents said on Tuesday that the workers, all identified as Mexican men, were employed by various contractors and subcontractors.
Authorities said the arrests came after a tip from Air Force investigators that believed illegal immigrants were working at the site.
Federal officials said the men likely face deportation. Authorities have not said which company employed the workers or if there would be any criminal prosecution of the companies for employing the workers.
The project to build a 118-acre, $215 million base for the Tennessee 164th Airlift Wing near the airport is the largest single construction effort in the Air National Guard's history.
