🌮 Federal agents raid Ohio Mexican restaurant over undocumented workers. Homeland Security Investigations, not ICE as initially reported, conducted the operation at Pancho's Tacos in Mount Vernon last Thursday. The City of Mount Vernon clarified they received no advance notice of the raid, which HSI described as an "ongoing criminal investigation" based on a tip about employment of undocumented immigrants.

The city stated they remain focused on "supporting all citizens, upholding the rule of law, and ensuring due process."
