SALEM, Ohio - According to immigration attorneys, detainees are entitled to what is called a masters hearing.  That's when the charges are read to them. In this case, probably in Cleveland Immigration court. 

That alone could take a few weeks.  

At that time, they will find out if they will be held or be released and have to attend a final hearing on their status at a later date. If there is a previous deportation order, they will be deported quickly.

The final hearing is where it's decided whether or not there is a reason for them to be deported.

In some cases, detainees will be given a bond hearing so they can go be with their family while their case is pending.

That final hearing could take years because of backlogs in the courts.

Salem Mayor John Berlin says Fresh Mark and the people who work there are extremely important to the city. He says the company is Salem's second largest employer and is responsible for almost $300,000 in taxes.

"They are a very big contributor to our tax base, not just for the schools, but for the general fund. Everybody there pays the city income tax," said Berlin.

The mayor says the police department has estimated the Guatemalan population in Salem to be around 2,000 people.  "I can only assume the immigrants came here for jobs and jobs were available at that location as well as other locations around Salem," added Berlin.

We don't yet know the exact charges any of these detainees will face nor do we know if Fresh Mark itself will face any charges. So far they have not.
