ICE Arrests 8 Dairy Workers in Largest Immigration Raid in Vermont’s Recent History

HeadlineApr 24, 2025

In Vermont, agents with U.S. Customs and Border Protection raided the state’s largest dairy farm on Monday, arresting eight immigrant workers who’ve since been jailed at the Northwest State Correctional Facility. It’s the largest immigration enforcement action in Vermont’s recent history. Republican Governor Phil Scott responded to the raid by calling on Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform, writing in a statement, “Migrant workers are an essential part of our communities. They are our neighbors and friends, have kids in our schools, shop at our businesses, and play an important role in our economy and workforce.”
