A raid by the Florida Department of Financial Services of the Fruit Dynamics packing plant in Naples Florida has left over 100 workers behind bars. Fox News Latino reported the raid happened on Wednesday was part of a probe into alleged insurance fraud. The workers are also being investigated by immigration and customs.

Major Geoffrey Branch with the Florida Department of Financial Services said that the allegations arose from a worker who was hurt on the job and later confessed to the operation.

"The investigation came to light after a referral from an attorney who represented an individual who was injured while working there who admitted to using fraudulent identification in support of employment and says others have as well," Branch said.

According to Fox 4 News the Investigation has revealed 27 stolen identities from 25 states. Officials are still looking into how the workers obtained the false identities and who provided them.

Florida State law considers it a third degree felony to use a false identity to gain employment or to seek benefits

It is unclear whether any or all of the workers who were arrested were undocumented immigrants, but the company says that it didn't know any of the workers were using false identification. The workers are being held in Collier County Jail. There were pregnant women among the workers detained.

The Florida Immigration Coalition is calling the raid cruel.

"The so-called 'insurance fraud bust' at the Naples produce company was in fact a scandalous and cruel immigration raid," said Maria Rodriguez, the Florida Immigrant Coalition's executive director.

The raid "punished the hardworking immigrants who sustain Florida's thriving fruit industry with criminal charges and jail at the taxpayers' expense," she said. "It is unclear whether any of those arrested ever even filed a workman's compensation claim, much less a fraudulent one.

"It is no secret that many immigrant workers are forced to use invalid Social Security numbers, often with a wink and a nod from their employers, if they want to survive and feed their families. Employers knowingly rely on these workers for their own economic survival," Rodriguez said.

The coalition says that Florida's Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater is touting the raid and is urging him to drop the charges against the immigrants and use Florida's taxpayer money on real threats to our financial well-being and to not waste resources on such humble workers.

"We also call on ICE -- Immigration and Customs Enforcement -- to ensure that no worker is deported out of this raid. Enforcing workplace rights, including workers' compensation, should never lead to deportation," the Florida Immigrant Coalition said.

According to News-Press.com, workers, along with family and friends of those who were detained gathered outside the plant to await for news.

Raul Vidaurri, one of the workers who was detained, spoke of his experiences.

"It was around 9 or 10, and we were just coming back from lunch break," he said. Vidaurri, a U.S. citizen, said deputies came in and started splitting up workers, males and females.

Vidaurri said that he was the only one with a signal on his phone at the time and that he used it to call the workers families.
