==================

Chonburi Immigration Police have apprehended over 100 migrant workers in a dramatic raid on a construction site today, leaving many in tears as they are likely to face deportation amid ongoing conflicts in their home country.

The raid was carried out today, August 23rd, 2024, under the direction of Pol Col Napaspong Khositasuriyamanee, Chief of Chonburi Immigration. The operation targeted a construction site in Soi Takhian Tia 20, Takhian Tia sub-district, Banglamung district, Chonburi province.

Upon inspection, a large number of migrant workers, mostly from Cambodia and Myanmar, were found working. However, as soon as they saw the authorities, they panicked and fled in all directions. The officers had to chase the workers down, and eventually over 100 workers were arrested.
