Utah woman charged with selling birth certificates to illegal immigrants working at Hyrum meatpacking plant
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A northern Utah woman told an undercover informant that she had sold more than 300 birth certificates to create identities, according to charges unsealed Thursday in federal court. Veronica Carrillo was arrested at a Logan apartment Tuesday, the same day that more than 100 people were arrested in an illegal-immigration investigation at a Swift & Co. meatpacking plant in Hyrum, 10 miles south of Logan.
"She does not work at Swift," said Melodie Rydalch, a spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's office in Salt Lake City. "However, we believe she may have provided documents to some of the employees working there." Carrillo, 41, a Mexican national, was charged with identity theft and the sale of citizenship papers. She was ordered to jail to await trial. An arraignment was set for Dec. 21. Carrillo's lawyer, Michael Jaenish, did not immediately return an Associated Press call seeking comment left after regular business hours.
