DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) _ Federal court records show that two illegal immigrants arrested during a massive immigration raid at a kosher meatpacking in Postville were freed from jail after testifying against a plant manager.
Josue Muj-Ixen and Antonio Vasquez-Arrendondo were both charged with misuse of a Social Security number and sentenced to five years of probation after the May 12 raid at Agriprocessors Inc. They remain under house arrest and wear monitors as they await a decision on their immigration status.
The men are identified in court records as witnesses in the federal government's case against 35-year-old Juan Carlos Guerrero-Espinoza.
Last month, Guerrero-Espinoza, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to hire illegal immigrants and one count of aiding and abetting the hiring of illegal immigrants.
