As He Backs ICE Crackdown, Nebraska Governor Employs Undocumented Workers

11 min read

Yanqi Xu

Gov. Jim Pillen and his family own about 100 hog farms in Nebraska. As Pillen aids ICE’s sweep on undocumented immigrants, his business has drawn little scrutiny for its own migrant work force.

Yanqi Xu

I knocked on doors where Pillen workers live. From interviews and court records, I learned that at least 20 Pillen farms had employed undocumented workers. Six former workers told me they were undocumented.

Yanqi Xu

Some undocumented immigrants continue to work at Pillen farms, their co-workers and relatives said. At least 12 Pillen workers were charged with using fake or stolen IDs for employment between 2015 and 2024.

Yanqi Xu

Pillen, a Republican seeking re-election, said he never knowingly hired undocumented workers. He recently let ICE use a former state prison to hold immigrants facing deportation. President Trump has endorsed him.
