I'd Like to Hear More about the Employers of the 680 employees

That's a lot of employees. This employer must be BIG!.
Were the employees getting a decent wage?
Did they have decent housing?
How about health care?

This sort of thing happened in Iowa a few years ago. The employers were culpable.

How about working conditions?

Slavery is not allowed.

1. I read this yesterday.

Wednesday’s raid by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which led to nearly 700 workers being detained, targeted seven Koch Foods Inc. poultry plants in Morton, Mississippi. As it happens, last year, Koch Foods settled a $3.75 million lawsuit for racial discrimination, national origin discrimination, and sexual harassment against its Latinx workers in that very same Morton facility.

My take is that these businesses use ICE as a payback.

3. How about a FOIA request to see the employers' eVerify lookups?

To my knowledge, every employer is required to do an eVerify lookup on every prospective employee to make sure the person is legally employable. If US employers weren't offering under-the-table, take-this-wage-or-get-deported jobs, I think the immigration issue would look much different.
