Harrisonburg, VA – On the morning of March 11th, 2008, Federal immigration officials raided the Dayton Cargill plant and made 3 arrests as part of an alleged multi-state conspiracy to obtain and sell identification cards to illegal immigrants. It's unclear as to whether the citizenship status of other Cargill employees was also checked. The investigation has been described as ongoing. Earlier this week WMRA's Martha Woodroof sat down with a 27-year-old, former Cargill employee - who's in this country without work papers - to talk about his situation.
