It's the second major round-up in as many months — hundreds of undocumented workers at a pair of businesses in Northern Ohio now under arrest and facing deportation.

This comes as Immigration and Customs Enforcement ramps up its efforts across the country. Now, concerns are growing here in Cleveland, and parents are taking precautions. Immigration Attorney Rosa Torres-Waldo said more parents are seeking to transfer custody of their children to someone else in case they get deported.
