OMAHA, Neb. - Dozens of illegal immigrants arrested in last week‘s meatpacking plant raids have been released for humanitarian reasons pending immigration hearings, a government official said Friday.
She wouldn‘t specify what other criteria the agency used to determine whether workers should be released for humanitarian reasons.
Detained workers were asked if they had minor dependents, Zuieback said.
He didn‘t know how many had been released for humanitarian reasons since the day of the raid or how many were released from plants raided in Cactus, Texas; Marshalltown, Iowa; and Hyrum, Utah.
A phone message left Friday seeking comment from Swift & Co. was not immediately returned.
