ICE Raids Target Upstate NY Factory | JQJO

Federal immigration agents conducted a large-scale raid at Nutrition Bar Confectioners in Cato, New York, detaining dozens of employees. A similar raid in Georgia detained 475 workers. The New York raid, described as aggressive and targeting Hispanic employees, caused significant disruption to the family-run business. Governor Hochul condemned the action, while the company claims all employees had proper documentation. ICE cited a court-authorized operation, but details remain scarce. Production has resumed at reduced capacity, and the company is hiring replacements.
