Latest updates about Kinsman IL, Massive FBI Raid on Islamic Slaughterhouse Mystifies Tiny Illinois Town.
FBI agents, immigration officials and state police, surrounded an Islamic meat plant in Kinsman, cordoning off the area and briefly detaining the plant’s handful of employees.
The FBI isn’t saying much, and the county sheriff is mum too, leaving Kinsman’s residents mystified. The bust, in a town that has no local police force, involved dozens of vehicles, a pair of snipers and a helicopter flying overhead, witnesses said — but it ended without even a single arrest.
“We’re all baffled,” Mayor Mark Harlow said. “You know, stuff like this doesn’t happen in a small community.”
The unusual show of force has residents spooked and has left the mayor searching for answers.
“The public reaction is … are they safe? We don’t know,” Harlow said. “What are they doing? We don’t know. Are they making bombs? We don’t know.”
Some of the workers were handcuffed during the raid, but they were eventually released.
Law enforcement officials declined to comment on whether the massive raid was connected to a series of high-profile arrests orchestrated by the FBI in recent weeks that focused on terror suspects.
