A company spokesman says things were back to normal at the Cargill plant in Dayton Wednesday.

Mark Klein spent the day at the plant getting the word out to employees that immigration and customs officials were at the facility Tuesday to look for records and not people.

Edwin Mendez, one of the people indicted Wednesday, is still an employee at Cargill, but Klein says, with company personnel policy, Mendez will probably be classified under job abandonment since he will miss too many days at work.

"Immigration officials came to the plant looking for documents, apparently in relation to the stolen identity case and we co-operated with them and provided that," says Klein. "I think it wasn't as a disruptive of an event because no one was taken from the plant. It was just them coming in to get these records and then they were on their way."

Klein also says that the documents will be locked up and protected by immigration and customs officials.

I look at it this way. If the employees or the employers there weren't guilty of anything, why get so upset when someone comes asking for reports and documents and the like. Sounds to me that there are more going on here than meets the eye...
