Battle Fish North Under Fire Again | Jackson News

A Mississippi catfish farm under federal scrutiny again after workers allege rampant abuse, unpaid wages, and unsafe conditions — this time with fresh accusations of racism and threats of deportation. Despite a 2023 investigation that led to a court-ordered compliance agreement, workers say nothing changed, and some quit or were fired for speaking out. Operating under the H-2A visa program, these mostly Mexican temporary workers fear retaliation and feel trapped by their immigration status. The Department of Labor confirms an ongoing probe but won’t disclose details, while the farm’s lawyers claim they’ve resolved past issues cooperatively — leaving workers desperate for justice amid a cycle of alleged violations that continue unchecked.
