DHS Detains 46 At New Jersey Freight Warehouse In Worksite Raid, Part Of Supply-Chain Crackdown

DHS conducted a worksite inspection at a federally authorized container freight station in Avenel, NJ, detaining 46 undocumented workers—about 22% of the onsite workforce—and placing them in federal custody pending immigration proceedings. The operation emphasized supply-chain security and employer compliance and follows September’s large Hyundai/LG Georgia action, indicating a broader national uptick in worksite enforcement at warehouses and major construction projects.
