CINCINNATI (Reuters) - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it raided the Koch Foods Inc. chicken plant in Fairfield, Ohio, on Tuesday as part of a criminal operation against illegal immigrants employed at the plant.

"This was a targeted work site enforcement operation involving criminal search warrants," said ICE spokesman Greg Palmore. "We executed at 10 o'clock (EDT) this morning."

He declined to say how many employees had been detained, and said the operation was continuing.

Calls to Koch Foods were unanswered.
