ICE action hits Facebook-parent Meta data center site, arrests two during checks

US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement has arrested two individuals during an enforcement action near a construction site in rural Louisiana where Meta Platforms Inc. is building its largest data center. The arrests, as per Bloomberg report, were made during traffic stops involving dump trucks headed toward the project site in Richland Parish, according to local law enforcement. Authorities said the action was carried out outside the construction site and did not involve ICE agents entering Meta’s premises. The incident comes as federal agencies continue stepped-up immigration enforcement at construction and industrial locations across the United States.
