ICE Crosses OSHA

Interesting backstory to the recent report that Immigration and Customs Enforcement had pulled off a raid targeting illegal immigrants working for Defense contractors at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro, N.C. The NY Times reported this weekend that the folks at OSHA are royally irritated that ICE rounded up the workers by telling them they had to attend an OSHA-mandated safety session. "This is not something we were involved in, and we do not condone the use of OSHA's name in this type of activity," Pam Groover, a spokeswoman for OSHA's parent organization, the Labor Department, told the paper. The United Food and Commercial Workers union isn't happy, either.
