The Worthington Daily Globe reports on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sweeps through the Swift hog packing plant:
. . .Minnesota State Patrol squad cars were brought in to assist with entrance to the Worthington plant, with only authorities allowed in or out while employees were questioned. Nine or 10 buses were brought in to transport those arrested.
ICE has been working with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) since February on an identity theft investigation, according to ICE Public Affairs Officer Tim Counts. ICE and the FTC have identified hundreds of potential victims .. . .
The Globe has a photo of the buses lined up by the plant.
The Strib has articles here and here. MPR here. At the Minnesota Monitor, Abdi Aynte reports at length of the efforts of Bruce Nestor, an immigration lawyer retained to represent some of the detainees.
The Rochester Post-Bulletin reports on other arrests in Austin and Albert Lea last week.
