Massive raids in multiple locations and States; 14 business owners arrested and warrents out on 3 more, and 133 employees arrested. Just in and around the town of O'Neill, NE, ICE hit a tomato hothouse, a potato-processor, a Mexican restaurant and Mexican grocer, and a cattle feedlot and a hog operation. Names of several businesses in the links.
The 17 owners will be charged with conspiracy to exploit illegal labor for profit, fraud and money laundering. Federal search warrants were served as far away as Las Vegas and Minnesota in connection with the conspiracy. Illegal workers brought to the area were required to pay a fee to cash their paychecks, have taxes deducted that were not paid to the government, and were coerced into remaining quiet about the criminal activity.
Keep in mind, this is on the heels of the two YUGE raids in Ohio and another big one in Tennessee.

I know some of you fucking little ICE shitlords are lurking this thread. I just want to say I love you guys. Keep up the good work and don't take shit from anyone.
They chased 13 or 15 (can't remember how many exactly) out into the fucking woods off highway 44 near six flags a week ago in St. Louis. Poor bastards. They learned about ticks, that I can tell you. Dumb, stupid, poor bastards. God have mercy on them. Look up seed ticks.

Cool. Despite his shortcomings, this wouldn't be happening with anyone else as president.
But how will we get potatoes and tomatoes! :') At least they're not being pussies about arresting the owners to.
Fuck those things. At least I can feel grown ticks crawling on me if I'm out hunting, but if you brush up against a cluster of those things they'll be on you quick.

In theory, if you employed illegals, that's breaking the law. Do they have any amnesty clauses if you come forward and shut it down?
