Pillen Family Farms, owned by Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen, operates approximately 100 hog farms throughout the state. This includes Inland Foods in Hastings, where pigs are kept in converted bunkers at a former munitions depot. Workers at these facilities perform demanding tasks, including vaccinating, feeding, and shipping livestock for low pay. Meanwhile, former employee Ashly Cortez-Garcia claims the governor is contradicting himself regarding the immigration issue, highlighting tensions between his political stance and farm operations.
