“I hid on the roof until they were gone,” the worker said.
The operation took place Tuesday morning at the construction site of a Whataburger restaurant on Shallowford Road and Sandy Plains in Marietta, where about 30 agents arrived in several vehicles and immediately entered the property, shouting: “Get down on the ground, it’s ICE!”
A U.S. worker told Luis Estrada about the moment the officers burst onto the site and that he himself felt fear.
According to witnesses, at least a dozen workers were detained.
