CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Two women accused of helping illegal workers obtain and submit false documents at a kosher slaughterhouse in Iowa have pleaded not guilty.

The pleas by 38-year-old Laura Althouse and 29-year-old Karina Freund were entered Wednesday in federal court.

They were arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents this month at the Agriprocessors Inc. plant in Postville. Both work in the human resources department.

Federal agents raided the plant in May and arrested more than 350 people in one of the largest immigration busts in U.S. history
