“Federal agents have begun an investigation into whether poultry giant House of Raeford Farms knowingly hired illegal immigrants at its Greenville, S.C., plant, two former supervisors said.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, spurred by an Observer report on the poultry company, visited the former supervisors recently to ask about company hiring practices, the former supervisors said.

The agents wanted to know how immigrant workers were hired and whether company managers knew if those workers were in the country illegally, said Enrique Pagan, a former line supervisor who left the plant in 2006 and later moved to Puerto Rico.”*
