Evicting undocumented tenants

[Rita Ciaccio]

Good morning.  I'm looking to purchase a new property that has undocumented tenants in place.  I'm told the wife has some form of legal documentation (green card, etc.), but the husband does not.  They are both on the lease.  They have gotten behind in their rent and may need to be evicted.  I know the best thing to do would be to speak with an eviction attorney, but does anyone have any experience with this situation?  How can we evict if we do not have a drivers license number or social security number?  We cannot do the military affidavit unless they are both seen at the property shortly before court in person, and both of them work most of the time and do not answer the door when they are there.  Any ideas, short of calling I.C.E.?
