The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted a raid on September 29 at the Lonestar Dream Bitcoin mining facility in Pyote, Texas. The operation targeted an ASIC repair center operated by ADW Tech, a company associated with Bitmain. According to sources, 12 to 13 individuals were detained, most of whom were Chinese nationals with expired visas. This enforcement action is linked to the U.S. government's recent scrutiny of ASIC miner imports. Authorities are investigating whether Sophgo, a semiconductor company associated with Bitmain CEO Micree Zhan, has violated export controls.
