WASHINGTON—The Justice Department (DOJ) has unsealed indictments of managers, supervisors, and human resources personnel at several Mississippi meat processing plants that have been accused of employing illegal alien workers.

In August 2019, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents simultaneously busted five plants in six central Mississippi cities, in a sweep that grabbed 680 illegal workers, including 18 juveniles.
