From Times Wire Reports
An immigration raid in which nearly 400 people were arrested scarred a small town and tore families apart, residents told a visiting congressional delegation.
The May raid in Postville -- at Agriprocessors, the nation’s largest kosher meatpacking plant, by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials -- was the largest of its kind in U.S. history.
Reps. Luis V. Gutierrez (D-Ill.), Albio Sires (D-N.J.) and Joe Baca (D-Rialto), members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, heard three hours of often emotional testimony.
