U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 40 undocumented workers at a condominium construction site in Palm Coast on Tuesday.
Agents said the illegal aliens, all men, were employed by various subcontracting companies working at the Ocean Towers construction site located on 3 Ocean Crest Drive.
Three of those arrested re-entered the country after being deported. Re-entry after deportation is a prosecutable felony that carries a possible 25-year prison sentence. Those three men are in U.S. Marshals custody awaiting prosecution by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
