LAFAYETTE, Colo.—Immigration officials and members of a criminal investigative arm within the Defense Department helped execute a search warrant at an optics company Thursday.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Carl Rusnok confirmed ICE agents and the Defense Criminal Investigative Service participated in the search of Rocky Mountain Instrument Co. He said he could not provide details since the investigation is ongoing.
DCIS is under the inspector general of the Defense Department.
The search warrant was sealed. There was no danger to area residents, said Jeff Dorschner, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Rocky Mountain Instrument Co. provides electro-optical systems, optics, coatings and assemblies, according to its Web site.
A company representative didn’t return a phone message seeking comment.
