Company Issues Statement On Immigration Raid
10/30/2008

More than two dozen people in northeastern South Dakota face identity theft and immigration charges. The Prairie Ridge Management says officials came to its dairy facility in Veblen to detain workers suspected of having incomplete or false documentation.

The South Dakota Highway Patrol says it arrested 13 people for ID theft and having false ID's and that US immigration officials arrested 14 others on immigration violations. They say the investigation began in August when a man who was pulled over showed suspicious documents with an invalid social security number.

Prairie Ridge management says the process went smoothly and it follows all state and federal laws for employee documentation.
