Results of a new survey say two-thirds of Mississippians think the owners ofchicken plants raided by federal immigration officers should face prosecution.
On the morning of Aug. 7, federal agents descended on seven plants in central Mississippi, rounding up 680 people suspected of being in the country illegally. Of those arrested, 300 were released within 27 hours. More since have been let out on bond, some equipped with ankle monitors. Though no longer behind bars, they face immigration court hearings. Some have been accused of federal felonies, mostly related to the use of fraudulent Social Security cards.
The federal government filed court documents alleging the companies were aware they employed illegal aliens.
