Greenley Colorado -- Immigration and Custom Enforcement officials temporary suspended six Swift meat-processing plants Thursday after arresting an unknown number suspected illegal immigrants in an identity theft investigation that agents had uncovered a scheme in which illegal immigrants and others have stolen or bought the identities and Social Security numbers of possibly hundreds of US citizens.
Swift has never condoned the employment of unauthorized workers, nor have we ever knowingly hired such individuals,” Swift & Co. President and CEO Sam Rovit said in a written statement.
ICE chief Julie L. Myer said ICE had uncovered several different rings that may have provided illegal documents.
Some immigrants targeted had genuine U.S. birth certificates, and others had other kinds of false identification, Myers said.
“The significance is that we’re serious about work site enforcement and that those who steal identities of U.S. citizens will not escape enforcement,” Myers said

I wonder if anything was done to the Swift Corp? And if the illegals are ID theives, are they just being deported or charged with aditional crimes? As Jay Leno said, 'they will be processed on Wed., deported on Thurs. and back to work on Fri.' I would like to read a follow up story on this.
ARE YOUITO POLITICS NOW?????
