Every seat in the waiting area of Glenn Valley Foods was occupied with people filling out job applications early Thursday afternoon, two days after the meatpacking plant became the center of the largest worksite immigration raid in the state of Nebraska so far this year.
Dozens of prospective employees, many of them Spanish speakers, had been coming in and out of the plant all day. Some were hoping to land a new job; others were coming in for training.
The scene gave the company’s president, Chad Hartmann, a glimmer of hope amid the chaos that ensued after Tuesday's raid purged roughly half of his staff — many of whom had been longtime employees of the company, which has been processing boxed beef for more than 15 years.

Seventy-six people working at Glenn Valley Foods were arrested by federal immigration authorities Tuesday morning, the Department of Homeland Security told NBC News in an email.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the arrests were part of an enforcement operation to execute a federal search warrant in connection to an investigation into “the large-scale employment of aliens without legal work authorization.”

“Recovering”?? NBC makes it sound like the city went through a natural disaster. They still are just as much of a DNC propaganda organ as they were before the 2024 election, which bodes well for Republican chances in 2028.
The gringos who hired them should be in the slammer too.
Looking forward to the stories about how demonicRATS are coping with having to wipe their own asses.
“The scene gave the company’s president, Chad Hartmann, a glimmer of hope amid the chaos that ensued after Tuesday’s raid purged roughly half of his staff “
Why was Mr Hartmann not arrested for employing so many people illegally? He should have his business confiscated for being a criminal enterprise.
Yes they should.
How about that. Americans doing jobs Americans won’t do. Who would have thunk it. ;~)
Well, lookie there! Apparently there ARE legal people willing to do the jobs “that Americans won’t do”.
They may have passed through the i9 system. That lets him off the hook.
Supposedly Ice was only arresting people there because they had committed other criminal acts other than being in this country. Now it appears that even if you are a criminal then you are under sanctuary if you work at a meat packing plant.
Boo. Hoo.
Bingo. Years working there? And, the criminal could not ever fill out the forms to become a citizen? Pi$$ on ‘em, both.
Now that’s a good idea !
“…a city…” happens to be Omaha as the place where this occurred. Not some small town at the end of a dusty road.
That was a provision of Reagan's 'One-Time-Only' Amnesty. It was never enforced and here we are...
I’ll bet crime goes down 25% as well
Agree if they knew, but from further down in the article: “...The company’s president said they have continuously used E-Verify as part of their hiring process. The system is operated by the Department of Homeland Security in partnership with the Social Security Administration to let employers know if a prospective employee has legal authorization to work in the U.S.
Every employee at Glenn Valley Foods, including those who were detained by ICE, has been approved through E-Verify...”
Another bureaucratic blundering program.
Employer monetary sanctions in 3... 2... 1...
Nah! Just kidding.
The company's president said...
Anyone can say anything. What else would the company's president say? "We knowingly hired illegal aliens and paid them under the table."
I wonder if said president offered proof that the illegal aliens had been approved through E-Verify, offered proof of the illegal aliens' ITIN or SSN and that US income taxes had been taken out of the illegal aliens' wages.
Trump needs to look into the E-Verify system and determine if it's been corrupted and compromised.
