ICE has been cracking down on businesses who employ illegals lately. A recent investigation by ICE led to the arrest of over 140 illegals at a business in Ohio.
According to The Daily Mail:
More than 140 workers were arrested at an Ohio meatpacking plant by federal agents following a yearlong immigration investigation.
The investigation focused on whether the company knowingly hired people who are in the country illegally and used fake identities belonging to U.S. citizens to get their jobs, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said.
The arrests Tuesday come as the U.S. government steps up its focus on businesses that hire people in the country illegally as part of a broad range of immigration crackdowns under Republican President Donald Trump.
The 146 arrests in one of the largest workplace immigration raids in recent years happened at Fresh Mark’s meat processing plant in Salem, in northeastern Ohio. Immigration agents and local authorities also carried out search warrants at the company’s two other locations in Massillon and its plant in Canton.
Charges have not been filed against the company. Something that seems to be a pattern in the recent crackdowns. It could be due to the illegals using forged documents. ICE stated the investigation is ongoing.
