CHATTANOOGA - A federal undercover agent testified Thursday that he's lost track of many of the illegal immigrants he delivered to work at Tyson Foods plants, and some could be still be in the country.
U.S. Border Patrol Agent Juan Flores told jurors that it's possible some of the immigrants are still carrying the bogus Social Security cards and other false identification investigators purchased for them.
"I do not know if they still have the documents," Flores said. "They could be here."
Agents have testified they delivered 136 illegal immigrants from Mexico and Central America to Tyson plants while investigating what prosecutors have described as a nationwide conspiracy by the company to hire cheap laborers (slave laborers) for its poultry plants.
