WASHINGTON COUNTY, Pa. — “At this point, I was shaken. I was scared. I didn’t know what was going on,” Tiffany Enamorado told Channel 11.
Enamorado was on the way to work Friday morning at her subcontracting business in Washington County. She just picked up three of her employees, who she admits are undocumented immigrants.
One of them is 17, and the two others both have been previously charged with crimes.
“They came up to the car, and they surrounded the truck, they told me to shut the truck off, and put the windows down. So, I did. The one guy came up to me, and said ‘you’re not in trouble. We aren’t here for you,’” Enamorado said.
She said the agents then started talking to her employees.
“They were nice. They were not ignorant. They were speaking in English, and nobody speaks English. So the one guy was saying get out of the car in English, and they were dumbfounded because they didn’t know what was going on,” she said.
After her employees got out of the truck, she left.
“Immigration told me I could leave. I waited a minute, and then after, that I left and they took them down to the South Side, " she added.
She says it’s unclear what will happen to the two men, but they let the 17-year-old go.
“His sister said that she went down there and talked to immigration, and they told her, if she doesn’t put her brother in school they’re going to come back and get him,” she said.
ICE has not released any specific information on Pittsburgh-area raids, despite our repeated questions.
As we’ve reported, Washington County, where this happened, is not a sanctuary county.
