BOISE - Federal officials say 12 of the 13 employees nabbed in an immigration raid at factory near Homedale earlier this month face a range of immigration and identity theft crimes.
Federal prosecutors say a grand jury has handed down indictments to 10 male and two female employees arrested April 2 at Specialty Incorporated Wood Products.
Authorities say the charges include possession of counterfeit alien registration receipt cards, misuse of Social Security numbers and identity theft.
Officials say five have already pleaded guilty and been deported. Trials for the others are scheduled in coming weeks.
The case was investigated by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Boise.
