Immigration authorities recently raided numerous agricultural facilities in Mississippi, and arrested 680 people. One of the targeted facilities has a history of serious immigrant labor abuse allegations. Last summer, the company settled a suit brought by the EEOC over sexual and physical assault and abuse against Hispanic laborers. The firm has not admitted to any of the alleged crimes, and paid millions of dollars to settle. Additionally, the firm has stated that its employees brought the suit in order to seek U.S. visas.
