160 Arrested in Immigration Raid
Filed Under Immigration News
160 people were arrested by 300 ICE agents in an immigration raid on a poultry processing plant in Ohio.
The raid on the Koch Food plant follows a two-year investigation by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) who seized documents at the plant and at Koch Foods Inc.’s Chicago area headquarters.
Fairfield plant official Monte Lobb insists that he is trying to work with federal authorities, and has fired many employees after discovering they were working with false documentation.
Lobb says, "The government won’t work with me. I’m against illegals. I’m not going to do anything to break the law, but people get false papers."
According to a special agent in charge of ICE enforcement for Ohio and Michigan Brian Moskowitz, the illegal immigrants are believed to be from Africa, Mexico and other Latin American countries.
Spokesman Marc Raimondi has announced that in most cases, deportation proceedings will begin immediately.
