TRENTON -- Federal immigration officers detained seven immigrants who work as cleaners at Rider University in a raid in Chambersburg yesterday morning.

The immigrants are employees of a cleaning contractor called Unico, Rider spokesman Daniel Higgins said.

At about 7:30 a.m. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers blocked the workers' van near the corner of Broad and Division streets, said a witness, who declined to give her name. They removed 10 people from the van, she said.

"I heard all these guys saying, 'Get out of the van, get out of the van,'" the witness said. "All these ladies were crying. It was a shame."

Three of the people were released and the seven others remain in ICE custody, according to Maria "Charo" Juega, treasurer of the Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund in Princeton. Juega said she spoke to one of the workers who was released.
