100 Illegals won big lawsuit

In Rare Victory, Illegals Prevail in Suit Over Meat Plant Raid

"The workers accused the government of racial profiling and excessive force. The agreement is very likely the first class settlement over an immigration enforcement operation at a work site, experts say. The far left Southern Poverty Law Center was involved.

In April 2018, armed agents with the Homeland Security Department and the Internal Revenue Service burst into the Southeastern Provision meatpacking plant in Bean Station, a rural town in northeastern Tennessee, and rounded up all but one Latino worker, including at least one U.S. legal resident and one American citizen. The only exception was a man who had hidden in a freezer.

The operation followed an I.R.S. investigation that had found evidence that the owner of the company, located outside the city of Morristown, Tenn., was paying plant workers in cash to evade taxes.

Nearly 100 illegals in Tennessee have reached a $1.17 million settlement against the U.S. government and federal agents, who they said used racial profiling and excessive force during the operation, stepping on a person’s neck and punching another in the face."
