EL PASO, Texas - Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided a home and two businesses Friday.

Leticia Zamarripa, an ICE spokeswoman, told ABC-7 the raids happened at a business called Nash Gardens on El Paso's westside, an annex warehouse of the business in Sunland Park and at an El Paso home. She did not say if the home and the businesses were related.

More than a dozen immigrants were detained because they did not have proper paper work to be employed in the United States, Zamarripa said.

The arrests come after a two-year investigation.
