Federal agents, deputies raid Central New York nutrition bar manufacturing plant
Witnesses said they saw dozens of people removed from the factory by about 50 officers, some wearing masks.
Cato, N.Y. - Federal agents and sheriff’s deputies raided a food manufacturing plant in Cato on Thursday morning.
The immigration raid started at about 9 a.m. at the Nutrition Bar Confectioners factory at 12351 Route 34, according to an employee. The family-owned business, founded in 1978, makes specialty nutrition bars.
The raid included officers from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Cayuga County and Oswego County sheriff’s offices. The Cayuga sheriff’s office had its mobile command center at the factory.
Cayuga County Sheriff Brian Schenck said the raid was a U.S. Department of Homeland Security criminal investigation. He declined to provide any other details.
More of what I voted for.
I hope they toted away the plant manager and HR too.
