US federal immigration officials announced yesterday that they have arrested 10 more workers in an alleged fake ID scam at O'Hare International Airport, raising the number of defendants to 36. The operation was revealed Wednesday after a team of federal and local law enforcement agents raided several airport warehouses and residences of illegal immigrant employees at Ideal Staffing Solutions, a temporary employment agency in Bensenville.Still unanswered is how the company got access to expired city Aviation Department badges that officials charged were fraudulently used by the workers. Officials said they're also unsure why the deactivated badges allowed the workers to pass through security checkpoints at the airport, gaining entry to the O'Hare tarmac and commercial cargo areas.
