In Depth: Pilgrim’s Pride Raid in Five States
Federal immigration agents have raided Pilgrim’s Pride poultry plants in Tennessee and four other states in a crackdown on an alleged scam to provide fake identification for illegal immigrant workers.
Julie Myers, Immigration and Customs Enforcement assistant secretary, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that more than 100 people were expected to be arrested on criminal charges. Agents raided the company’s plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., and others in Texas, Arkansas, Florida and West Virginia.
Those facing criminal charges will be detained by U.S. marshals. ICE agents will interview others to decide whether they would be detained or released pending immigration hearings.

LOL! And for years, I’ve been buying Pilgrim’s Pride to avoid buying Tyson’s. Seems like you just can’t win these days.
Great-—about time.
I'd like to see a sentence along the lines of "The CEO was sentenced to one year in the county jail, with a cellmate name "Igor, The Lonely One".
This is all great news but until all states have an Arizona style punish-the-guy-that-hires-them law or some other PUNATIVE actions against the higher ups, these raids will be marked off as a "cost of doing business".
