Cracking down
A nationwide campaign this year against business operators who employ undocumented immigrants has led to a number of targeted raids, including ones in:
Houston, where seven managers of IFCO Systems North America Inc., a palletmaker, are charged with conspiracy to harbor illegal aliens. Agents raid 40 plants nationwide.
El Paso, where Soto Rock Hauling owners are charged with harboring 26 undocumented immigrants.
Cincinnati, where four supervisors from Fischer Homes, a residential construction firm, are indicted and 76 immigrant workers are detained.
Fairfield, Ohio, where agents arrested Bee's Buffet owner in the importation of undocumented workers from Asia and housing them in his basement.
New York state, where ICE raids leave a shortage of workers to pick strawberries at Coulter Farms.
Jackson, Miss., where agents investigating the Country Club of Jackson find 18 undocumented workers.
Stillmore, Ga., where a chicken processing plant is raided and 120 immigrants suspected of being illegal are detained.
