CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Thirteen people arrested in an immigration raid at a large Northeast Ohio meat packing company were indicted Wednesday on charges that they used fraudulent identification cards and paperwork to obtain employment.
The criminal charges brought against the workers are the first ones to be filed as a result of the June 19 raid on Fresh Mark locations in Salem and Massillon. Authorities say 146 people, most of whom hailed from Guatemala, were arrested on suspicion of being in the U.S. illegally. Many remain in custody pending deportation proceedings.
