A union representative and human resources worker were arrested at the Swift & Co. meatpacking planton charges of bringing in and harboring illegal immigrants.

The arrests were part of a nationwide sweep of Swift plants that netted 19 arrests overall, said Richard Rocha, a spokesman with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Sounds like a RICO charge is in order, but conspiracy for sure at least.

I'll believe it when I see it. With Jorge, it'll be a wink and a nod, and they'll be advised to "be more careful next time!"

“Two others have also been charged in connection with the case, but their names are being held pending their arrests and initial appearances in court.”

Is this an illegal immigration thread or a identity theft thread?

Are identity theft charges the only way to get illegals off the street and back to their original countries?

Just wondering...

Actually, they busted the two gabachos who were hiring the illegals. This is a good thing.

Ah, that good old American company which has an excellent brand name of Swift and Company. It always put out good meat.

For those of you keeping up with American brands and American companies, Swift and Company sold out to a company in Brazil. It is no longer American. I guess the Brazilian company will continue using the brand name. Deceptive?

Give them a few centuries and they will have it all under control.

To be caught by ICE today you have to be very stupid or very unfortunate.
