Federal agents have arrested five additional House of Raeford Farms employees and continue to search for others as part of their investigation into alleged immigration violations at the company's Greenville poultry plant.
On Wednesday, Victor Cruz-Soto, Daniel Badillo-Baca, and Nain Zarate-Camarero were indicted on charges of using counterfeit IDs to gain employment, identify theft, and making a false statement to a federal agency, according to federal records. The three men were arrested in July.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested Federico Torres-Perez and Juan Francisco Martinez-Olivares last month on similar charges.
The plant's human resource manager, Elaine Crump, was also arrested last month on 20 felony counts charging that she instructed employees to use fraudulent employment eligibility forms.
In a February series on workplace safety in the poultry industry, the Observer reported that some House of Raeford managers knowingly employed undocumented workers, according to five current and former supervisors and human resource administrators. Former supervisors have said the plant prefers undocumented workers because they are less likely to question working conditions for fear of losing their jobs or being deported.
Since publication of the series, 11 House of Raeford employees have been arrested on immigration violations. Eight of the arrested employees including Crump are scheduled to be in federal court Tuesday for a pretrial hearing. Cruz, Badillo, and Zarate are to be arraigned on Aug. 28.

Noooooooooooooooooooooo
The meanies, the anti-immigrationist racists...
Oh, the hugh manatee....
There goes our chicken dinners. Who can white people find to do their work?
“Who can white people find to do their work?”
I keep hearing about the poor Katrina refugees still wandering around. Looks like some openings, here!
Not sure about today, but back in the early 1990’s, Carolina Turkey in Mt. Olive was almost completely staffed by illegal aliens. I know this because my ex-wife was an HR manager there for about 2 years. Her first language was Spanish, which made her indispensable!

ID theft? Making false statements to the feds?
Howzabout stolen SS nos? Forging documents to establish several identities? Falsely registering to vote in several districts? Pocketing US benefits under several identities?
It's been widely circulated here in SC that the supposedly tough immigration bill passed by the SC legislature was never intended to be enforced and was simply some token legislation to quell the grumblings from those of us that wanted to get tough with the border jumpers.
I'm thinking that this raid is nothing more than a 'see we're doing something' act.
Anywhere there is road construction, it's mostly border jumpers with the token white or black guy.
Same in the concrete field and some of the other construction trades, such as sheetrock and masonry.
So they arrested a few guys. Big deal. If they really want to do something about the border jumpers they're going to have to go to the source: the employers. Employers that hire illegals should face big fines and jail time. That would put a halt to some of this crap.
What’s with all the hyphenated names??
From the article: The plant's human resource manager, Elaine Crump, was also arrested last month on 20 felony counts....
I suspect Elaine's replacement will not make the same mistake.
“hyphenated names??”
Probably represents how many phony IDs they had.
Keep pounding on them.
These latest two need to go away for a very long time.
LOL you may be right.
I'm glad they arrested her and I hope that she does jail time.
