Feds: Illegal Aliens Arrested in ICE Raid Stole Identities of American Citizens

Many of the illegal aliens arrested this month in the largest single-state raid by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Mississippi stole the identities of dead Americans to illegally work, federal prosecutors say.

In the first week of August, ICE agents conducted the largest workplace raid in more than a decade across five food processing plants in Mississippi, netting the arrests of 680 illegal aliens. That same day, however, ICE officials said they released about 300 of the illegal workers back into the U.S. on “humanitarian grounds.” More than 200 of the illegal workers had prior criminal records. The raids have already resulted in job fairs at some of the plants seeking to hire locals.

Federal affidavits obtained by the Neshoba Democrat reveal that illegal workers arrested in the raids had allegedly stolen the identities of American citizens, including those who are deceased, to work illegally at the five food processing plants, which include P H Food Inc., Koch Foods, A&B Inc., Peco Foods, and Pearl River Foods.

The illegal workers, federal prosecutors say, purchased fraudulent Social Security documents for between $200 and $1,000 in order to work at the plants. In many of these cases, the illegal workers purchased stolen identities of dead American citizens.

Some victims of the alleged identity theft scheme by the illegal workers reported to federal officials how they were denied government benefits because when they applied, records came up that they were working at the food processing plants in Mississippi, though they were not.

Schumer blocked a bill that would have notified American victims of this crime.

Notice how our phone elites always side with criminals? Ever wonder why?

Make the fines on the businesses who hire illegals so extraordinary that they would never think of doing it. Implement E-Verify and ID Voting. Get a freakin’ handle on this problem and get these illegals out of our country ASAP.

End the anchor baby loophole. Take away everything that is a magnet for these illegals so they have no reason to be here.

Democrat Sen Schumer dismissed Republican Grassley's proposal to notify individuals who were the victims of SS theft.

Schumer came down hard on the side of illegals .....rather than Americans harmed by the practice.

This is where a loud-mouthed President who pointed this out on Twitter could really make Schumer's life miserable. :)

Just reading your post raised my Blood Pressure too can’t imagine your ordeal. Someone has been trying to open credit cards in my name until I stopped and placed an alert on my credit report. I knew it was an Hispanic because his number was on my report when I called they spoke no English. I pray your issue has been resolved.

years ago before we kbew what ID theft was, a woman at SS told me my husband’s record showed he was working in North Carolina ... a state he hadn’t been to, even to visit, in decades.

Fake IDs are the perfect cover for vote fraud. The more fake IDs an illegal alien has the more votes they have.

Understand why the DNC is catering to the illegals?

If you are asked to give your DL to anyone to scan this is potential ID theft. No one needs to scan the back of your driver’s license. Hell only your DL # is needed for class II narcotics. I refuse to allow even MD offices to scan the back with the bar code etc.

Thank you! Yes, it has been resolved, but psychologically it has left a lasting fear. We have also had people trying to open credit cards in our name - some have been successful, but we’ve never been responsible for the charges. I’m glad you have had a good outcome with the alert!

But they’re not breaking any laws.

A rope just ain’t good enuff for these people. I’m a thinking something in the 30 caliber.
