Here is more, fresh from the Greeley Tribune website, for some specifics on today's raid:

10:16 a.m. update: A look at the documents.

The Greeley Tribune is reviewing the affidavits of 25 arrest warrants filed Monday afternoon at Weld District Court in connection with an United States Immigration Customs Enforcement raid on Swift & Co. plants in Greeley and other locations. We will post updates of the affidavits in groups of five at a time. These posts will contain excerpts and summaries of some of the affidavits. Here is the first group:

• On July 6, 2006, a woman claiming to be Edna Flores completed a portion of her Form I-9 that identified her as a U.S. citizen with a Colorado I.D. card. Federal Trade Commission records show Edna Flores is actually a resident of Texas and filed a complaint after she got a notice from the IRS saying she owed back taxes. ICE agents compared a photo of Edna Flores with the Swift employee and determined they were different people.

• On Nov. 26, 2002, a man claiming to be Otilio Torres Rivera completed forms that identified her as a citizen with a North Carolina I.D. card. A death certificate shows Rivera died Feb. 2, 2005. His sister filed a complaint after receiving an earning report from the Social Security Administration saying he was employed. His sister also reported Virginia police told her Rivera’s vehicle was in an accident after he had died.

• On Jan. 4, 2002, a man claiming to be Alvino De Leon Correa completed forms that identified him as citizen with a Colorado I.D. card. FTC records show Correa is actually a resident of Texas. He believes his information may have been stolen when he lost his wallet. ICE agents compared a driver’s license photo of Correa with that of the Swift employee and determined they were different people.

• On July 30, 2001, a woman claiming to be Yesenia Lopez filled out forms identifying her as citizen with a Nebraska I.D. card. FTC record show Yesenia Hernandez is a California resident and filed a complaint after she learned someone using her maiden name was employed at “Swift Beef Company.” Ice agents used a copy of her driver’s license to determine she and the Swift employee were different people. When contacted by agents, she said Hernandez said she had never lived in Nebraska or Colorado.

• On Mar. 11, 2003, a woman claiming to be Jennifer Rosas filled out forms identifying her as a citizen with a Colorado I.D. card. FTC records show that Rosas is actually a resident of Texas and filed a complaint after learning someone used her I.D. to get a driver’s license in Arkansas and get a job at “Swift Beef Company.” She reported someone may have stolen her I.D. when they stole her purse. ICE agents compared her driver’s license photo with a photo of the Swift employee and determined they are different people.

This is a good start. I certainly hope these folks are charged and prosecuted for ID theft and then deported to serve their time in their country's prisons. LOL

Flores, Rivera, Correa, Lopez, Rosas....stolen identities by illegals of their SS numbers, all victims with HISPANIC last names!!

Good. The LEGAL hispanic community will be up in arms over their numbers being used by illegals.

On Nov. 26, 2002, a man claiming to be Otilio Torres Rivera completed forms that identified her as a citizen with a North Carolina I.D. card.

Holy Hispanic Sex Change, Batman!!

Today for the first time I decided to do a search on my name online and I came across this website! I read all the reports on the Greeley Tribune website and found myself horrified and relieved that I almost started to cry! My name was mentioned on this, I am Edna Flores. I found that someone was using my name and my social security number to work because I received a notice form the IRS stating I owed back taxes in 1998 and every time I tried to find this person she would move and move jobs, it has been rather exhausting and up until last year 2006 I still receive letters from the IRS stating that I owed back taxes. No matter how many times and how much I tried to get them to help me all they told me was that all they could do was remove my back taxes, needless to say I was furious all the time but after almost 9 years it is coming to end and all I can do is hope that this story is not repeated and that this is a horrifying experience for anyone to have to be put through, especially when all the government could ever help me with was they "could create a file for me"! I am glad I saw this, I was beginning to give up hope!
