Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) executed a series of criminal arrest warrants on Aug. 8 as part of a multi-state operation targeting businesses that hired and exploited illegal immigrants across the Midwest, officials said.
The 15-month operation led by the investigative arm of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) indicted 17 individuals connected to an alleged criminal conspiracy to cheat illegal workers for profit, fraud, wire fraud and money laundering in Nebraska and Minnesota.
