Please email Ryt-Way Industries of Lakeville and thank them for joining ICE's --- IMAGE PROGRAM Hopefully this is a trend that will pick up steam. Ruthie January 20, 2011 Minneapolis, MN First Minnesota business partners with ICE joins 'IMAGE' program MINNEAPOLIS - A suburban Twin Cities business is the first Minnesota member of a nationwide program by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to ensure a legal and more secure work force. "IMAGE" or "ICE Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers" is a voluntary program that allows private industry to partner with ICE to reduce unauthorized employment and the use of fraudulent identity documents. Edward (Skip) Bolton and Justin Holden, of Ryt-way Industries LLC signed an agreement with ICE on Jan. 13 making his company a full member of the IMAGE program. Ryt-way Industries has served the food service industry in North America for more than 43 years. It employs more than 1,000 people, and currently is headquartered in Lakeville, Minn. "By volunteering to become members of IMAGE, companies large and small can reduce unauthorized employment and the use of fraudulent identity documents," said Mike Feinberg, special agent in charge of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Bloomington, Minn. "Businesses that join IMAGE also increase the reputation of their brand and their company." ***************************************** 4.
