“Stolen Social Security numbers were being used by many of the illegals rounded up two weeks ago in the largest immigration raid in a decade, unsealed court affidavits obtained by the Democrat reveal.
The stolen identities were being used to gain employment and evade detection, federal officials said.
U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement working in concert with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Mississippi detained 680 people two weeks ago after serving administrative and criminal search warrants at seven chicken processing plants in six Mississippi towns, including Canton and nearby Carthage.
At the Peco Foods plant at 1039 W. Fulton St. in Canton, approximately 150 were detained on Aug. 7. Peco Foods in Walnut Grove, Pearl River Foods in Carthage, Koch Foods in Morton, A&B Inc. in Pelahatchie, PH Food Inc. in Morton, and Peco Foods in Bay Springs were also targeted.
Mike Hurst, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District, said the execution of the search warrants was a culmination of a year-long investigation.
According to court affidavits, ICE had approximately 222 historical encounters and/or arrests with illegal aliens at Peco Foods between November 2002 and June 2019.
Despite arguments on the national and local stages that the illegal immigrants detained were committing “victimless” crimes, the affidavits paint a much different picture.
The affidavits state that illegal immigrants were purchasing fake identification ranging from $200 up to $1,000 in some cases. The stolen information, in some instances, included social security numbers of deceased people.
On June 3, one woman told investigators that she was denied unemployment benefits because the government thought she was employed at Pearl River Foods after her identity was stolen, court filings reveal.”
