Federal agents and sheriff's deputies detained dozens of workers in a Homeland Security criminal investigation at a nutrition bar factory, with about 100 employees present during the raid.
- Federal agents raided Nutrition Bar Confectioners, a family-owned food manufacturer in Cato, New York, on Thursday morning at about 9 a.m.
- The raid was conducted as part of a federal criminal probe involving Homeland Security agents, with local sheriff deputies providing support during the execution of a search warrant.
- Officers forcibly entered the factory using crowbars, rounded up all workers—about 100 people—and detained dozens, including women who were visibly distressed during the process.
