Worthington workers sue over tactics in immigration raid

Minneapolis — (AP) - Ten Worthington residents who were working at a meatpacking plant in the southwestern Minnesota city when it was raided by immigration agents are suing the federal government over the alleged abusive and illegal tactics used by the agents, lawyers for the residents said Tuesday. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court here by Centro Legal, an immigrant rights group, claims agents hurled insults at the Hispanic workers, ordered female Hispanic workers to disrobe and “otherwise insulted, abused, and humiliated the plaintiffs on account of their race” during the Dec. 12 raid at the Swift & Co. plant.
