ICE and its federal partners arrested 46 illegal immigrants during the operation, the result of a "multiyear investigation into a transnational criminal organization involved in labor exploitation, tax violations, and immigration violations," the agency said.
ICE said "over 100 agitators" arrived at one of the locations it searched and "attempted to impede law enforcement operations."
"Agitators quickly turned violent, assaulting officers and slashing tires," ICE added.
