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

In a statement to Fox News Digital, DHS officials confirmed that law enforcement personnel conducted an inspection at a federally authorized Container Freight Station as part of an ongoing campaign to ensure compliance with immigration regulations.

During the inspection, agents discovered 46 undocumented laborers, accounting for roughly 22 percent of the onsite workforce. All 46 individuals were taken into federal custody and are now awaiting immigration proceedings, according to DHS.

Surveillance footage captured the tense moments as federal officers escorted groups of workers into multiple waiting vans. The facility was surrounded by a significant law enforcement presence throughout the operation.

This latest action follows another major DHS raid in Georgia at a Hyundai factory, which had previously been highlighted by President Biden as a significant win for “New American Jobs.”

In a related incident, ICE agents were recorded breaking a car window to arrest an individual who resisted detainment, highlighting the challenges law enforcement faces during these immigration enforcement efforts.
