Five National Beef Employees Indicted On Immigration Charges

Five workers from National Beef's plant in Liberal, Kan., have been indicted on federal immigration charges.

U.S. Attorney Eric Melgren announced the charges Thursday. He said the arrests and indictments were the result of tips received from other workers at the plant.

The U.S. attorney's office said all five men had worked at the plant at least two years and used names and social security numbers of U.S. citizens.

Three of the men are from Mexico and two from Guatemala. They are charged with various counts, including using false documents to be employed in the United States, aggravated identity theft and falsely claiming to be a U.S. citizen.
