Prosecutor in New York Warns of More Raids After 57 Detained Making Snack Bars
Federal authorities detained 57 undocumented workers at a snack bar plant; five face criminal charges for illegal re-entry, with deportation proceedings ongoing, officials said.
- Last week, federal agents detained fifty-seven people at the Nutrition Bar Confectioners plant in rural Cato, Cayuga County, New York, in one of the largest recent worksite enforcement actions, Acting U.S. Attorney John Sarcone III said Tuesday.
- Officials say the action follows a shift toward increased enforcement, with Sarcone warning employers they risk criminal investigation if they hire unauthorized workers, as he wrote `Across Upstate and Central New York, there are hard-working Americans in need of well-paying jobs, especially in Cayuga County where unemployment is relatively high`.
- The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of New York said five defendants, including those named, face up to two years in prison, while 52 detainees are held for deportation.
- Factory owners of the Nutrition Bar Confectioners plant said their employees had legal documentation and were unaware of the raids, while the Rural and Migrant Ministry advocacy group noted many detainees were from Guatemala.
- Sarcone framed enforcement as a broader shift, saying 'The bad old days of turning a blind eye are over,' amid ongoing investigations and recent large-scale raids.
