Nine employees at a car wash in Allston, all of whom had work permits, were detained in a raid by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents Tuesday morning, the business's manager said. At about 10:30 a.m., around 22 federal agents arrived at the Allston Car Wash on Cambridge Street with subpoenas in hand, according to manager Jose Barrera. "It was very intimidating the way they showed up," Barrera told Boston.com.
