A sheriff in Ohio just revealed that illegal aliens who were working on a construction crew at his jail were arrested this week.
On Friday, Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones announced that a secure area of the Butler County Jail in Hamilton is currently under construction.
While reviewing worker documentation provided by a subcontractor, authorities determined some of the credentials appeared to be fraudulent.
Because the Butler County Sheriff’s Office recently entered into a partnership with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an ICE agent was on site at the jail.
During interviews with the agent, two of the workers admitted to being in the U.S. illegally.
One of the men has already been deported multiple times, according to Sheriff Jones.
“They had fake identification. It was some of the best identification I’ve ever seen,” Jones said of the illegals’ driver’s licenses, passports, and social security cards.
The men are currently being held at same jail where they were working.
“You just can’t make this stuff up. I’ve been very verbal with my stance on illegal immigration and two illegal aliens come to the Butler County Jail to work. I do believe I’ve now seen it all,” stated Sheriff Jones.
