ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10)---At the U.S. Northern District of New York Courthouse in Albany, the acting U.S. Attorney spoke to reporters about an immigration raid at a food processing plant in Central New York.

According to Acting U.S. Attorney, John Sarcone, of the 57 people detained in Cayuga County, five have been criminally charged.

"Among those detained, five have been criminally charged for illegally re-entering the United States after prior removal, which is a felony," said Sarcone.

Those five include four people from Guatemala and one from Mexico. The other 52 are pending immigration proceedings, but Sarcone said he thinks they are going back to their country of origin.
