Federal agents conducted a surprise raid at a New York snack bar manufacturer, detaining dozens of workers. The raid, led by Homeland Security Investigations, left the plant's co-owner and employees terrified. While the plant owner claims all employees had legal documentation, the reason for the raid remains unclear, sparking criticism from local officials and the governor.
