Border Security & Immigration

The sheriff's office revealed Wednesday that a third popular family water park was targeted in this week's raids of a Mesa company whose employees were suspected of fraud and immigration violations. ....

The case is significant because it marks the first time investigators have publicly scrutinized a business' hiring practices since January, when a new law made it possible for companies to be suspended or closed if they are caught hiring illegal immigrants.

While officials said the company is not suspected of breaking the so-called Legal Arizona Workers Act, they also said the investigation is ongoing and growing.
