SOUTH CAROLINA POULTRY FARM INDICTED ON IMMIGRATION CHARGES
From The Greenville News:
The Columbia Farms subsidiary of the House of Raeford was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges that it knowingly employed illegal immigrants at its Greenville chicken processing plant.
The company was indicted on 29 counts and accused of knowingly hiring illegal workers beginning in 2000.
Two company managers — human resources manager Elaine Crump and plant complex manager Barry Cronic — were previously named in the indictment and accused of encouraging employees to use falsified immigration verification documents, according to the indictment.
Both managers have pleaded not guilty.
House of Raeford, the North Carolina-based parent company of Columbia Farms, said Columbia Farms has followed all federal laws.
