Roughly 680 undocumented immigrants were arrested in Mississippi on Wednesday, marking what officials are calling the largest single-state immigration enforcement in history.
The operations took place at seven work sites -- all agricultural processing plants -- in six different cities, and involved more than 600 agents, according to officials at a press conference on Wednesday afternoon.
"The arrests today were the results of a year-long criminal investigation and the arrests and warrants that were executed today are just another step in that investigation," ICE acting Director Matthew Albence said Wednesday."Our arrests of these individuals is the front end of the process, we will process them, we will place them in front of an immigration judge where they will make their case as to whether or not they have a lawful right to remain in the country.
"This is horrifying -- and it’s happening right here, right now," the American Civil Liberties Union wrote on Twitter."America can’t be the country we want to live in so long as the president’s mass deportation machine is terrorizing our communities and ripping apart families."We can confirm the Department of Homeland Security was on-site at three of our facilities in Mississippi this morning -- Bay Springs, Canton and Sebastopol," the company said in a statement.
