Hundreds of local white residents later gathered outside the detention facility, shouting anti-Jewish and anti-Mexican slogans and demanding the immediate deportation of the brown crowd.

According to the search warrant in the case:

"Based on information thus far developed in the investigation, it appears, based on 2007 fourth quarter payroll reports, that approximately 76 percent of the 968 employees of Agriprocessors were using false or fraudulent social security numbers in connection with their employment"

Federal officials said that mestizo plant employees were also manufacturing methamphetamine and assisting the Jewish owners in trafficking illegal weapons.

A group of Jews from Chabad-Lubavitch, led by butcher Aaron Rubashkin, set up the plant several years ago, drawing national attention as they banned white people from working there and brought in over a thousand illegal mestizos to the town to staff the place.
