The agents in ICE's Homeland Security Investigations arm led the raids on businesses they allege knowingly hired and improperly treated immigrants without legal status, The Associated Press reported. Authorities took 14 of the people indicted into custody and are still searching for three others, according to the AP. ADVERTISEMENT Special agent in charge Tracy Cormier told the wire service that the raids were part of one of the largest operations in the 15 years since the Homeland Security Investigations branch was created. “The whole investigation was initiated, basically, because we knew that these businesses were cheating these workers and cheating taxpayers and cheating their competition,” she said. ICE raids generally target workers thought to be in the U.S. illegally, not business owners. The agency also told the AP that it arrested 133 workers believed to be in the country illegally. Cormier told the AP that the businesses had used fake names and Social Security numbers to hire the workers, and then used “force, fraud, coercion, threat of arrest and/or deportation” to exploit the immigrants. ICE officials also alleged that the businesses had withheld taxes from the workers’ pay, but did not turn those funds over to the government, according to the AP. The workers were also allegedly forced to pay large fees in order to cash their paychecks, the site reported.<doc-sep>A Minnesota farm business was among those raided by ICE on Wednesday. A series of raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on Wednesday saw 147 arrests made across farm businesses in Minnesota and Nebraska. Agents led by ICE"s Homeland Security Investigations unit executed a series of criminal warrants at businesses where owners are suspected of exploiting laborers who are in the country illegally. Some 133 people in the country illegally were arrested as a result of the raid, along with 14 business owners who have been indicted for fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. There were 11 businesses caught up in the raids, ICE said, among them Christensen Farms' locations in Sleepy Eye and Appleton in southern Minnesota, as well as in Atkinson, Nebraska. ICE said that the people found living and working in the U.S. illegally "may ... have been exploited as part of this alleged criminal conspiracy." In a statement sent to FOX 9, Christensen Farms – a pork producer – said that one of its third party vendors were found to be "not in compliance with immigration policies." It was "surprised and disappointed" to learn this, it added, saying it expects its third party vendors to "uphold the same high standards as our company." Some of the aliens will be issued notices to appear before a federal immigration judge and released, while others will be detained by ICE pending court proceedings. ICE says the owners and managers involved are suspected of colluding "to create an illegal alien workforce in their respective businesses." "By doing so, they defrauded the U.S. government and created an unfair advantage over their competition businesses," it added. "Additionally, authorities suspect the illegal aliens who were knowingly hired as part of this alleged conspiracy were exploited by the conspirators through force, coercion, or threat of arrest and/or deportation." This exploitation included forcing workers to cash their paychecks at an illegal remittance business for a fee, as well as deducting tax money from their pay but never paying it to the government.<doc-sep>
According to ICE, 133 employees believed to be victims of the alleged crimes were arrested for immigration violations. SLEEPY EYE, Minn. - A large federal law enforcement operation has targeted businesses in Minnesota and Nebraska that officials say knowingly hired - and mistreated - immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally. The investigative arm of U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement led the operation Wednesday that saw 14 business owners and managers and 133 workers arrested. ICE reports that search warrants were served at Christensen Farms locations in Appleton and Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, as well as in Atkinson, Nebraska. Several other Nebraska farms were raided, as well. According to ICE, the 133 employees arrested were detained for immigration violations and said to be "unlawfully working" at the businesses. In a press release, ICE reported that "they may also have been exploited as part of this alleged criminal conspiracy." The release stated that those people will be either issued notices to appear before a federal immigration judge, or remain in ICE custody pending immigration court proceedings. According to the ICE release, "authorities suspect the illegal aliens who were knowingly hired as part of this alleged conspiracy were exploited by the conspirators through force, coercion, or threat of arrest and/or deportation. Specifically, these illegal aliens were allegedly required to cash their paychecks at an illegal remittance business for a fee, have tax money deducted from their pay even though this money was never paid to the government, and were coerced to remain quiet about this criminal activity." Homeland Security Investigations special agent in charge Tracy Cormier described the operation as one of the largest in its 15-year history. Cormier says the focus of the operation is a business that knowingly offered for hire immigrants in the country illegally to other businesses, including farms, meat processors, grain companies and restaurants. Cormier says owners and operators of those businesses that hired the immigrants also were targeted for arrest. Christensen Farms issued a statement on Wednesday, saying:
