Feds rounding up illegal immigrants at Canton plant, mayor says

WAPT 16

Homeland Security agents descended upon several sites in Mississippi Wednesday, including Peco Foods in Canton.

“After speaking with the agents, I now know that they are identifying illegal immigrants, versus those who are legal, and rounding them up, putting them in buses and carrying them away,” said Canton Mayor William Truly. 

A Homeland Security official at the scene said agents are executing a federal search warrant in conjunction with the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

“It’s part of a larger operation,” said Lindsay Williams, with Homeland Security public affairs. “It’s an ongoing search. I can’t specify or disclose what we’re looking for, or how the operation is progressing, just yet.”

Williams said it was likely that agents would spend several hours at the Canton plant.

Three buses arrived about 10:30 a.m. at an airport in Jackson. The buses were carrying people taken into custody at the Koch food plant in Morton, according to a woman who said her boyfriend was on one of the buses.

A Homeland security official at Thompson Field confirmed that they were transporting people arrested as part of a federal criminal investigation. He said it was not an ICE raid.

Williams said additional information will be released later in the day.

      1. Thank you for pointing that out :

        On December 20, 2017, President Donald J. Trump commuted the prison sentence of Sholom Rubashkin. The White House wrote the commutation was “encouraged by bipartisan leaders from across the political spectrum, from Orrin Hatch to Nancy Pelosi”, and was “based on expressions of support from Members of Congress and a broad cross-section of the legal community” though the action “is not a Presidential pardon. It does not vacate Mr. Rubashkin’s conviction, and it leaves in place a term of supervised release and a substantial restitution obligation, which were also part of Mr. Rubashkin’s sentence.” Therefore Rubashkin was released 19 years earlier than planned.[55] Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz had raised Rubashkin’s case over lunch with Trump.[56] Opponents of undocumented immigration were upset by the commutation, and Trump did not answer reporter questions about whether he knew Rubashkin had hired undocumented immigrants
