Arrested illegal immigrants had access to restricted areas at Atlanta airport
ATLANTA (CNN) -- Immigration officials Wednesday arrested six illegal immigrants hired to work at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, where they had security badges allowing them access to restricted areas, including the tarmac, authorities said.
The six Mexican citizens were working for a drywall company based in Alpharetta, Ga., outside Atlanta, according to a written statement issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The investigation into the circumstances of the immigrants' employment and their possession of the badges continues, ICE said, noting that knowingly hiring illegal immigrants violates U.S. immigration law.
The arrested immigrants will be "quickly processed and ultimately returned to Mexico," ICE said. (Posted 5:23 p.m.)
