Tennessee authorities said eight migrant workers were arrested for looting a flood-ravaged area of the state in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
Washington County Sheriff Keith Sexton announced on Facebook Monday that deputies arrested eight men for looting in the flood-ravaged 107 area on Saturday.
Five of the suspects – Albin Nahun Vega-Rapalo, 24, David Bairon Rapalo-Rapalo, 37, Kevin Noe Martinez-Lopez, 25, Marvin Hernandez-Martinez, 43, Dayln Gabriel Guillen Guillen, 37 – were charged with aggravated burglary into occupied structures. Three others face burglary charges: Jesus Leodan Garcia-Peneda, 51, Josue Berardo Ortis-Valdez, 30, and Ersy Leonel Ortis-Valdez, 33.
As of Monday, all were in custody at the Washington County Detention Center, each held on a $20,000 bond, the sheriff's office said. They were all expected to appear in court later Monday.
The office added that Washington County deputies continue to patrol the region "during the catastrophic flooding, especially along the flood zone." A sheriff's office spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital that all eight suspects are migrant workers in the United States legally on work visas.
"That will change as a result of the charges," the spokeswoman said by phone. After dark, she said that authorities would continue to stop anyone found in flood zones, regardless of their appearance.
"We have been through way too much for this kind of behavior," the sheriff's office spokeswoman said.

Are they still looting oxygen?
“Tennessee migrants”?
More like Venezuelan Migrants.
Agreed. I doubt very seriously that these are the "Go Vols" type of Tennesseans.
Time to kick out all the no-good foreign scum in this country.
Oh, do they mean illegal aliens but were being politically correct?

Thank you.
Soon to be husbands to guys bigger than them in prison.
This is the point where you pull up on their truck(s) and disable them, then go in shooting drop them right where they’re stealing.
There was a time, a much better time, when looters were simply SHOT.
I did search and this story was not posted. Searching on FR is like searching for a needle in a haystack.
They committed a crime....first on Trump’s list to be deported.
Biden, Harris, Myorkas and many others are accomplices in these illegal invader crimes.
BANG!
BANG!BANG!BANG!
BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!
...Rehabilitation complete, no deportation necessary.
““Tennessee migrants”? More like Venezuelan Migrants.”
This is why I hate the MSM. They are disingenuous.
What they say - what they mean:
Migrants = Illegal aliens
Groomer gangs = Rape gangs
Democracy = Fascism
Public executions and leave them hanging around for a week. Send a message.
Starting with Schwartz Gyorgy.
Looters - shoot on sight.
