ICE mum on raid of central Pa. eateries

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have said little about a raid targeting eight Asian restaurants in central Pennsylvania last week, all but three of which had reopened by Monday.

The Centre Daily Times reports federal agents targeted the restaurants in and around State College on Thursday. At least 13 people were seen being taken away from the restaurants in wrist restraints.

ICE spokeswoman Nicole Navas says she can’t provide details “in order not to compromise this ongoing criminal investigation.”

Centre County law enforcement officials either declined comment on the raid or said they were “out of the loop” and had no information about it.

Republican U.S. Rep. Glenn Thompson says he was told the raid was immigration-related, but had no other information to provide.
