Employees who were released from work reportedly said their bosses had been informed in advance of the crackdown, undermining the operation. The allegations raise concerns about internal leaks within government structures and the effectiveness of enforcement efforts aimed at undocumented workers. The report does not specify which province's premier made the claims or the outcome of the raid.
