Fargo, N.D. (AP) Workers from India who were helping build a Casselton ethanol plant have pleaded guilty to possession of a counterfeit document.

Twenty-three men were charged in the case. Seven of them pleaded guilty to false representation of Social Security numbers and were sentenced to time already served in jail. Two other charges involving false identification were dropped.

Plea hearings for the other men will be held later.

U.S. District Judge Ralph Erickson turned the defendants over to immigration authorities, who will decide whether they should be deported.
