GREELEY, Colo. — Federal agents raided meat processing plants in six states Tuesday and arrested an unknown number of suspected illegal immigrants in an identity theft investigation.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said the workers were arrested on administrative immigration violations and, in some cases, existing criminal arrest warrants.ICE chief Julie L. Myers told reporters in Washington that agents had uncovered a scheme in which illegal immigrants and others had stolen or bought the identities and Social Security numbers of possibly hundreds of lawful U.S. residents to get jobs with Greeley-based meat processor, Swift & Co.
Six Swift processing plants were raided Tuesday, in Greeley; Grand Island, Neb.; Cactus, Texas; Hyrum, Utah; Marshalltown, Iowa; and Worthington, Minn.
"Swift has never condoned the employment of unauthorized workers, nor have we ever knowingly hired such individuals," Swift President and CEO Sam Rovit said in a written statement.
