Federal authorities said Thursday at least 46 undocumented workers were arrested during a sweeping Department of Homeland Security (DHS) operation at a freight warehouse in Avenel, New Jersey, Wednesday.

Law enforcement personnel carried out the inspection at a federally authorized container freight station as part of an ongoing campaign to ensure compliance with immigration regulations.

At the warehouse, agents discovered 46 undocumented laborers, roughly 22% of the onsite workforce, officials said.

All 46 suspected illegal aliens were escorted into federal custody, where they now await immigration proceedings, according to the DHS.
