Abstract

The article focuses on a recent enforcement action by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at a construction site in Richland Parish, Louisiana, where Meta Platforms Inc. is building its largest data center. ICE arrested two individuals from Guatemala and Honduras who were driving dump trucks to the site, following a request from local law enforcement regarding undocumented workers. The Richland Parish Sheriff's Office confirmed that ICE agents were checking the identification of workers but did not enter the Meta construction site. This incident is part of a broader trend of immigration enforcement targeting construction sites and manufacturing plants under the Trump administration, raising concerns about the impact on the workforce needed for expanding technology infrastructure.
