HelloFresh, the largest meal-kit provider in the U.S., faces accusations from the U.S. Department of Labor of employing migrant children at a factory located in Aurora, Illinois. ABC7 reports at least six teenagers from Guatemala were found working night shifts at the factory. HelloFresh cut ties with Midway Staffing, an agency that hires migrants and is being investigated by the federal labor agency.
“The problem is that these people are illegals. They’ve been brought here by the Democrat administrations, both federally and in the state of Illinois,” said Miller. “They’ve created this huge mess now, and now they’re going to pretend like they care, and they’re going to go try to clean it up. It’s all smoke and mirrors and political theater.”

Let Pritzker know you don’t want Illinois to be a sanctuary state any longer by signing my petition to END the TRUST ACT. The Illinois TRUST Act, enacted in 2017, made Illinois a “sanctuary state” for undocumented immigrants. The TRUST Act prohibits local law enforcement in Illinois from participating in immigration enforcement. Currently, the cost of providing services to undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers is costing taxpayers an estimated $2.84 billion from fiscal year 2023 through fiscal year 2025, which doesn’t even include education costs or other various state and local services. We must repeal the TRUST Act to end Illinois’ sanctuary state status and stop the flow of undocumented immigrants into Illinois.
