A Maryland homeowner has come under fire after she allegedly hired six Guatemalan immigrant workers for a roofing renovation on her property in Cambridge, only to call US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers on them as the job neared completion – apparently to avoid settling a £7,500 ($10,000) bill.
The incident unfolded earlier this week and video evidence now circulating widely depicts officers detaining the crew while some remained on the roof. The episode has ignited fierce debate online about payment practices and immigration enforcement.
