Federal agents began a probe into immigration violations today in Chattanooga and several other states.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents along with Chattanooga police raided the Pilgrim's Pride plants in South Chattanooga this morning.
They loaded vans with suspected illegal immigrants.
Other agents hit Pilgrim's Pride plants in Florida and Arkansas.
The probe centers around an alleged scam to provide fake identification for illegal immigrant workers.
Pilgrim's Pride reportedly is cooperating in the investigation.
