Federal agents found more than two dozen minors illegally working inside a poultry plant in Kidron, Ohio, earlier this month, according to local immigration advocates who spoke to NBC News on the condition of anonymity.

The children, mainly from Guatemala, according to the advocates, were working in meat processing and sanitation in a plant run by Gerber’s Poultry, which produces Amish Farm Chicken, advertised with the slogan “Better feed, better taste.”

This is one of those things that makes me proud of the FBI.

I know that labor rights are hard slanted toward capital in the United States for things like the most common theft in the US: wage theft isn't even a crime. It must be resolved in civil not criminal court.

So the fallout will be a good way to judge how effective the US and the FBI are at dismantling that oppressive plantation.
