The raid was also a good opportunity to test out procedures for mass arrests of people, and their subsequent "processing." Ironic that the processing was handled at the National CATTLE Congress Fairgrounds.
However, thif the allegations of the workers being paid below minimum wage is true, the people who authorized that should do jail time. Whether here legally or illegally, they should have been paid minimum wage as defined by the law. In fact, if some workers were not paid minimum wage, that shows they were complicit in hiring workers with fake identification.

And with my outrage meter recalibrations so the needle can still move - that registered a 'meh'.

And who says that government agents are not funny? Someone is still laughing over getting that choice approved.
Think of the reams of school papers that this one case can provide footnotes for.
(Your list of laws broken just shows how much the free market is prevented from operating BTW. As todays Free Market advocate on the topic, it is my job to point that out.)
Obviously the owners didn't pay ICE enough protection money. Sounds to me like the market worked.
As Gore Vidal pointed out in today's interview on DemocracyNow! (May 14), the coup has already happened. Laws broken, oh please, isn't that why we have Deciders now?
And now the not free market is gonna drug the people who get shipped out.

No wonder the people who speak of free markets and capitalism don't like the government giving out drugs on the taxpayers dime!
