Two people were arrested following a Home Office operation in Lurgan earlier this week.
Immigration Enforcement officers visited two residential premises on Edward Street on Tuesday, March 25.
Two individuals were arrested on suspicion of residing in the United Kingdom and working without permission to do so.
One has been released on bail pending further investigation, the other individual has agreed to voluntarily depart to their home country.
A Home Office spokesperson said: “Organised Immigration Crime is a multi-million pound industry, which stretches from the trafficking routes thousands of miles away through which people are brought to our country to the high streets across the United Kingdom where many of those people end up working illegally.
“As part of our Plan for Change, this government is cracking down on that criminal industry at every level, including stepping up our visits to car washes and other businesses where illegal working is taking place, and increasing our enforcement action both against illegal workers and the people who employ them.”
