U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Louisiana State Police, and other agencies arrested 84 people on immigration violations during a raid at the Delta Downs race track in Calcasieu Parish.
The operation focused on businesses that own and race horses out of the race track's stables.
"ICE Homeland Security Investigations is working closely with our federal and state partners to review each case of unauthorized employment at the racetrack to identify any other criminal activities that were taking place in addition to labor exploitation and immigration violations," said ICE Special Agent in Charge Eric DeLaune.
Businesses are required to verify employees' work eligibility, including legal immigration status.
The investigation remains ongoing.
