Officials from four federal agencies, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the IRS Criminal Investigation Division, arrived at Eagle Beverage and Accessories Products on Tuesday afternoon and took the workers into custody.

Videos posted to social media by local immigration attorney Luis Cortes-Romero show the workers in handcuffs and ankle chains as agents directed them out of the warehouse and into a transport bus. The images show nine men being escorted out of the building first, followed by a separate group of seven women.

An ICE spokesperson said in a statement the arrested workers "had fraudulently represented their immigration status and submitted fraudulent documents and/or information to seek employment."

The officers executed a federal search warrant at the company “based on an ongoing criminal investigation into the unlawful employment of aliens," the statement said.

KUOW reached out to Eagle Beverage but did not receive a response.

The company website says it makes custom beverage products such as syrups, teas, and ciders, and has been in business since 1970.

This appears to be the second, large-scale immigration raid at a Washington business this year, following the arrest of 37 people at Bellingham roofing company in April.

It’s difficult to know if, or how much, ICE arrests have increased in Washington since President Donald Trump took office as the agency has not responded to KUOW’s requests for data.

However, updates on ICE’s website show a gradual increase in the number of people detained at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma. The average daily population at the facility has increased from 718 people in late January to 975 people in early May. But that's not a direct correlation to local arrests, since people are also transferred to the Tacoma facility from other states.

Nationwide, NPR reports that at least 1,400 people have been arrested at worksite operations since February.

Editor's note: An initial statement from ICE misstated the arrest number as 16.
