Unsealed court documents say managers at two Mississippi processing plants owned by the same Chinese man appeared to be actively participating in fraud.
JACKSON, Miss — Six of seven Mississippi chicken processing plants raided Wednesday were "willfully and unlawfully" employing people who lacked authorization to work in the United States, including workers wearing electronic monitoring bracelets at work for previous immigration violations, according to unsealed court documents.
Federal investigators behind the biggest immigration raid in a decade relied on confidential informants inside the plants in addition to data from the monitoring bracelets to help make their case, according to the documents.
The sworn statements supported the search warrants that led a judge to authorize Wednesday's raids, and aren't official charges, but give the first detailed look at the evidence involved in what Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have described as a yearlong investigation.

aiding and abetting illegals is a federal crime, the ceo and the human resources director should be charged with federal crimes for aiding and abetting illegals.fines don`t mean shit to these people they just pass the cost of the fines onto the consumers, throw their asses in prison for 20 years then they might feel some real regret for violating U.S. federal laws.
