A massive multi-agency federal operation is unfolding right now in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, where agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) have surrounded a fire equipment manufacturer, Queen City News reported.

The company at the center of the storm is Buckeye Fire Equipment, a major supplier with past contracts tied to the Department of Defense (DoD) and Small Business Administration (SBA).

Authorities confirmed to Queen City News that a criminal search warrant is being executed at the facility on Kings Road in Kings Mountain, North Carolina.

The probe reportedly involves allegations of aggravated identity theft and the employment of individuals not authorized to work in the United States.

This happened so close to home that I had to see if there was any update. The only thing I’m seeing is that 30 or more were arrested as ILLEGALS and nothing more. Anyone else?
