What happened
A report found that Jim Pillen's hog company, one of the largest in the United States, has long employed undocumented workers. According to court records, at least a dozen of these workers have been charged with crimes, such as identity theft, for using fraudulent IDs. The company has not been investigated by federal immigration agencies in the past 15 years, according to ICE's response.
Why it matters
The agriculture industry in Nebraska relies heavily on undocumented workers, which creates systemic labor issues. The law requires U.S. employers not to knowingly hire unauthorized workers, a violation that can lead to fines or prison time.
