In Iowa, indictments have come down from DHS’s massive immigration raid last week. Not surprisingly, the number of workers who have been charged with a crime represents a fraction of the number of workers who were arrested in the December 12th raids.
The U.S. Attorney from the Southern District of Iowa has indicted 23 workers from Swift’s meat-packing plant in Marshalltown, Iowa, on “immigration and identity theft charges,” according to a Justice Department press release. Ninety workers were arrested in Marshalltown last week.
As Justin has pointed out before, only a very small number of the 1,300 detainees from last week’s raids of six Swift plants face criminal charges.
