Homeland Security agents detain more than 25 immigrants without legal documents at Wildwood construction sites

WILDWOOD, Fla. – Special agents with Homeland Security Investigations in Tampa conducted worksite enforcement visits at construction sites in Wildwood.

In a series of posts on its X account on Tuesday, the agency announced it’s visiting “one of the fastest growing communities in the U.S.” and has ”arrested more than two dozen illegal aliens,” some of which were previously deported, and the “illegal aliens are from Mexico, Guatemala & Honduras”.

The enforcement efforts are part of a broader initiative to ensure compliance with federal laws and regulations. HSI Tampa is collaborating with local agencies, including the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and the Miami office of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

According to a news release, the Wildwood arrests come just days after agents arrested 53 undocumented immigrants at a hotel construction worksite in Puerto Rico.
