Ten men in two separate incidents were arrested in Bay County Thursday and held for Immigration and Customs Enforcement for violating U.S. immigration laws.

According to a news release, the Bay County Sheriff's Office Illegal Alien Enforcement Unit and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office of the Resident Agent in Charge/Panama City conducted an "I-9 outreach" at Construction Enterprises Inc., located at the Waterside Apartments of Jenks Avenue construction site in Panama City on Thursday, March 19.

During an I-9 outreach, employers are presented with forms they are required to fill out on each employee confirming they are U.S. citizens and eligible for employment, the news release said. This site had been previously visited by Sheriff's Office deputies after receiving citizen complaints about the possibility of undocumented workers employed at the site. During the initial visit, 20 to 30 people fled the scene, the release said.

Thursday, the Sheriff's Office Illegal Alien Task Enforcement Unit returned and attempted to present the I-9 Employers handbook to the superintendent on that site. Upon their arrival, "several foreign nationals fled the scene," the release said. BCSO Illegal Alien Enforcement Unit and Special Agents were able to detain some of the workers, and determined that they were in the United States contrary to immigration laws. Ultimately, eight illegal aliens working on the site were arrested:

Leobel Mazarlego, 22, of 7241 Coe Road in Panama City, a native of Mexico, was arrested for Criminal Use of Personal Identification Information; a Hold for I.C.E. was placed on him. It was discovered that Mazarlego had a warrant for Violation of Probation-DUI and Driving with no Valid Driver's License, the release said.

Alvaro Mendez, 27, of 2507 Drummond Ave., Panama City, a native of Honduras, was booked into the Bay County Jail with a Hold for I.C.E.

Elvin Giovanny Chirinos-Alvarado, 28, of 2507 Drummond Ave., Panama City, a native of Honduras, was booked into the Bay County Jail on a charge of No Valid Driver License; a Hold for I.C.E. was placed on him.

Marvin Osman-Fuentes, 25, of 7241 Coe Road, Panama City, a native of Honduras, was booked into the Bay County Jail with a Hold for I.C.E.

Bairon Edgardo Soriano-Hernandez, 18, of 2507 Drummond Ave., Panama City, a native of Honduras, was booked into the Bay County Jail with a Hold for I.C.E.

In a separate incident Thursday, members of the Bay County Sheriff's Office patrol division and the Illegal Alien Enforcement Unit also arrested two other men who were going to a separate job site in the Bay County area. A traffic stop was conducted on a vehicle for speeding through a school zone in northern Bay County and the driver of the vehicle was found to not possess a driver license. Members of the Illegal Alien Enforcement Unit were summoned to the scene and determined that both the driver and his passenger were in the United States in violation of U.S. immigration laws. They were going to the Innovations Federal Credit Union currently under construction on State 77 in Lynn Haven.

Hervel Lainez-Colindrez, 27, of 5117 Edgemore Drive, Norcross, Ga., a native of Honduras, was booked into the Bay County Jail for No Valid Driver License and a Hold for I.C.E. was placed on him.
