Agriprocessors Media Statement

By Becky Ogann

Yesterday Agriprocessors was the subject of a worksite enforcement action by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other agencies. Government reports indicate that over 300 individuals were arrested.

Our company takes the immigration laws seriously. We cooperated with the government in the enforcement action. We intend to continue to cooperate with the government in its investigation. Agriprocessors will also inquire further into the circumstances that led to today's events.

We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the families whose lives were disrupted and wish them the best.

We are deeply committed to meeting the needs of all of our customers and are operating again today.

Business as usual at agri. Federal D.O.T. should take a close look at Best Value, also a agri company. The only thing their "deeply committed" to is making money, legal or not!

What is happening to the this company? not only should the people be punished for being here illegally but the company should be in trouble for hiring these illegals. They had to have known that most of these people were here illegally and should have punishment for hiring them.

Quit perpetuating this influx of illegals & stop hiring them!!! You are kosher, but breaking the law.
