This problem at Dulles has been going on for a long time. There is a lot of major construction going on in the ramp areas (with access to aircraft gate areas) with hundreds of workers where Spanish is the normal language and subcontractors round illegals up for all the unskilled work.
ICE has a field office just outside the airport. They and everyone else knew that Dulles was teeming with illegals.
Why has it taken this long?
ICE needs to check the damn cab drivers next....lots of muzzies....
I find it amazing the amount of foreigners in the DC area...tons of middle easterners as well. Saw women in burqas at the Dulles airport! Weird, almost 3rd world-like.
Actually, to my knowledge, this is the SECOND such I.C.E. raid of that Airport in about three years. They also had another big high profile roundup of illegals, and it made quite amount of headlines.
Maybe because we are into the election season. Now is the time for Congress to vote for another 700 miles of border fence. After the elections, they can arrange to defund it like last time.
