Sorry if this has been discussed before.  Has anyone seen any news about what was done to the owners. Seems like throwing the book at them would be a lot more of a dternet than arresting 600 workers

Well from what I can tell, the owners had a lot of worker violations (I mean conditions were horrible and these people put up working there while the employers really did bad things to them no American would put up with), and some of those workers via the EEOC won some sort of case against them for sexual harassment. But other allegations have been made in the past. It seems a little suspicious but the employer almost seemed to tip the feds off as revenge. It's not like ICE didn't know about their constant activities. They've been making raids since 2002! The next day after the raid they immediately had a job fair.. so stupid. I know they'll be back to hiring cheap labor like always. Doubt anything will happen to them. Interviews from some of the people that ICE did let go made pretty consistent claims that sound rife with abuse and no different from those won against the company in the suit case that started in 2004.

USCIS website used to show the fine amount for hiring illegal aliens, about 2 years ago they removed it.  I now just looked and in April 2019 they now have it published.

They do not need guys in body armour, just an auditor making monthly visits....
