Federal immigration authorities in Tampa arrested more than two dozen undocumented immigrants at construction sites this week, part of a broader enforcement initiative led by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in the city. The individuals arrested were from Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras.

The operation, announced via HSI Tampa's official X account, included collaboration with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and the Miami office of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). It followed a similar raid days earlier in Puerto Rico, where 53 undocumented Dominican nationals were taken into custody at a hotel construction site in San Juan.
