NAPLES, Fla. — A day after federal agents raided two properties of conservative businessman Alfie Oakes, newly revealed court documents accuse the high-profile MAGA Republican of failing to pay back millions of dollars in loans.

According to neighbors, it was an intense scene in Oakes' neighborhood when agents from multiple federal agencies showed up in unmarked cars outside his home in Naples, Florida. Law enforcement also showed up at Oakes' packing plant in Immokalee.

The U.S. Department of Defense's Office of the Inspector General confirmed that its DCIS agents were executing law enforcement activity at Oakes' properties in coordination with the IRS and the Secret Service.

However, none of the agencies have disclosed the exact reason why.

1. and he hires undocumented workers to slave I mean work his family farms

In 2014, Fruit Dynamics was raided by the Florida Division of Insurance Fraud, resulting in 105 undocumented workers being arrested for workers’ compensation fraud and criminal use of personal identification. Oakes denied knowledge of the workers' undocumented status, but the company offered to post bail for the workers to be released from jail.[5] According to immigration advocacy groups, the raid was the largest in Florida history at the time. Many of those arrested were admitted to pretrial diversion programs.[33] In 2016, Oakes told CBS News, "Forty to 80 percent can be undocumented on any given day, and I can tell you, if we were to lose 40 to 80 percent of our workforce, we would be crippled here."[34]

Maybe 20.

8. Yet another rich person who was 'charged' but was still at home when they feds left.

I am so glad we live in a just society where someone who is guilty of multiple crimes, including some that could be considered as 'against humanity' can sit on his patio after such a raid and proclaim his worship of a traitorous fascist while I get pulled for two traffic infractions and get locked up in a jail cell.

Completely blind justice here in the US. We are all equal under the law.
