UPDATE at 4:10pm from Homeland Security Investigations:
“This morning, around 11:00 am, HSI led enforcement activity alongside multiple federal and local law enforcement partners to include ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations, Yavapai County, the Department of Labor, IRS - Criminal Investigations in the ex*****on of 28 federal search warrants and 4 federal arrest warrants specifically in the areas of Prescott, Prescott Valley, Cottonwood, Sedona, and Yavapai County, AZ and Foley, Alabama related to illicit money laundering, labor exploitation and human smuggling (additional charges may be forthcoming).

Today’s planned enforcement activity resulted in the arrest of four targets who are alleged to have participated in money laundering among other charges. Over 20 immigration related arrests also took place, but that number has not been finalized as interviews are ongoing.

The success of this operation is a result of the close coordinated efforts by our partner law enforcement agencies - all who had significant impact in this three-year long federal investigation.

This is an ongoing investigation.”
