A homeowner hired six men to work on her house, waited until the job was almost done, then called ice to avoid paying them $10,000

“She called the law on us and now we’re totally screwed.” That is what six Guatemalan workers shouted as ICE agents surrounded them on a Maryland rooftop.

A homeowner in Cambridge, Maryland, waited until six Guatemalan workers had nearly finished a three-day roofing job. Then she called ICE.

The men were still on the roof when agents arrived. According to a coworker who streamed the arrest live, the homeowner even handed over the ladder agents used to detain them. She owed the workers about $10,000 for the job.
