"Minnesota Dairy Farm Sued for $3 Million in Wage Theft"

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison filed a $3 million wage theft lawsuit against Evergreen Acres Dairy, alleging the company robbed hundreds of immigrant workers, withheld wages, and provided squalid housing. The dairy farm, owned by Keith Schaefer and his daughter Megan Hill, allegedly falsified records, destroyed timecards, and threatened workers. The workers, who faced hazardous conditions and little oversight, were also tenants of the company without lease agreements. Ellison emphasized the impact of wage theft on both victims and other businesses, and his office is coordinating with the Department of Homeland Security to protect the workers.
