Federal Immigration agents on Monday arrested more than 300 people during a raid at a Postville meat processing plant.
The raid by agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was the largest in Iowa history, Matt M. Dummermuth, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Iowa, said at a news conference.
Dummermuth said the raid at the Agriprocessors Inc. plant in northeast Iowa came after months of planning, beginning in October 2007. Federal agents were helped by state and local police.
Authorities said more than 300 workers were arrested on a variety of charges included fraudulent use of Social Security numbers and identity theft.

ICE is nothing but bigoted, racist, nativists!! There’s no such thing as an ILLEGAL person!!! We all belong to the human race!!! Undocumented workers don’t hurt anyone (pay no attention to that meth lab in the corner!) and they’re doing the jobs American won’t do!!!! [repeat ad nauseum]
/sarc
Good for ICE! Now git to work on all the rest of the lawbreakers around the country!!
lol. never heard that before.
These executives should be doing hard time.
If we are going to pay through the nose for the product because of these raids, how bout giving some inner city AMERICAN kids these jobs at a much better wages?
You got creepy meat. Mine just sits there, inanimate.
Exactly, but it never seems to happen.
Could we say that if the crime of illegal immigration was included?
If we did, there would be millions and millions of new crimes to count which currently are not, and also go unprosecuted.
Invasion is not a civil right, no matter how much La Raza Unida wants it to be.
Thank you Alouette.
I’m going to suffer now that I won’t have meat on my plate.
And that, right there, is how you solve the illegal immigrant problem. No worky, no comey.

...and Iowa going for Obama NOW makes sense.
It is interesting how the unions are supporting illegal immigrants, isn’t it?
It looks like it will be upwards of 700. That’s almost 30% of the population of the town. The town’s web site has a link to the Babelfish translator site. That’s no surprise. Vilsack is to blame for not encouraging Iowans to move to areas that need workers but closing his eyes to illegals, and Culver just thinks illegals are good for the economy. Screw them both. If illegals hadn’t come, Iowans would be making higher wages. I know, all you guys are going to point out the IBP vs unions, but it’s better to pay Americans higher wages than to bring in illegals.
I like mine rare. Sometimes it twitches a little. The best sashimi comes on the boned fish with the fins still swimming. YUM!!
