The raids occurred at many food processing plants across Mississippi on Wednesday; workers with legal status were allowed to leave, after their car trunks were searched.

Wednesday, 680 undocumented immigrants in Mississippi were detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the largest single-state immigration raid in the country's history.

"U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations special agents are executing federal search warrants today at multiple locations across the state of Mississippi as part of a coordinated operation with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Mississippi pursuant to ongoing HSI administrative and criminal investigations," U.S. Attorney Mike Hurts said in a statement.

"I've never done anything like this," Chris Heck, resident agent in charge of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations unit in Jackson, told The Associated Press inside the hangar."This is a very large worksite operation." McGee said teachers and staff are on standby, and bus drivers have been instructed to make a"visual reference to a parent or guardian," so children are not dropped off at empty homes. If a parent is not available, the child will be taken back to school.

Funny thing is that trumpers complain that those people leech the system but they also take their jobs, the reality is 99 % of you wouldn’t do that job, ever

What happened to the owners of these companies who hired these people? They need to be held accountable.

Curious as to if employers were arrested?

Illegal immigrants. Please. Change words does not give them legal status.

Good work ice, who is going to pick your fruits and clean your dirty homes now?

Chicken. The other white meat.
