7 arrested in ICE operation at Kings Mountain plant had been deported before

KINGS MOUNTAIN, N.C. — Channel 9 just learned at least seven of the people arrested during an ICE operation at a Kings Mountain plant last week have been deported before, according to court documents.

At least one man who worked at Buckeye Fire Equipment is accused of paying for a fake ID to pretend he is legally allowed to work in the country.

New court paperwork lists charges against eight of 30 people arrested.

The other seven people are being charged with illegally entering the country after being deported in the past.

We’re still trying to get information about the other 22 suspects.
