new york factory raid immigration sarcone.

Federal prosecutors detained 57 people after a raid on a snack bar plant in upstate New York. Acting U.S. Attorney John Sarcone said Tuesday that five of those detained last week in Cato, New York, face charges for illegally re-entering the U.S. The remaining 52 face deportation proceedings. Most of those detained are reportedly from Guatemala. This raid, one of the largest in New York, coincided with another in Georgia, where 475 people were detained at a Hyundai manufacturing site. Sarcone said employers can expect to be criminally prosecuted if they employ workers without authorization. Factory owners said last week that their employees had legal documentation.
