DES MOINES — Almost 70 percent of people targeted for arrest in a May raid at a meatpacking plant in Postville escaped prosecution.
That’s according to a story in today’s Des Moines Register that also finds that immigrants prosecuted after the raid used Social Security numbers stolen from people in at least 25 states.
The newspaper reviewed criminal complaints against workers at Agriprocessors who were charged with aggravated identity theft, misuse of a Social Security number, unlawful re-entry into the United States and other charges.
Of the 697 people identified in warrants in the largest single-site immigration enforcement raid in U.S. history, only 220 were arrested. Eighty-five more were arrested after being discovered through the raid.
