ICE raids

Tanya Broder from NILC is talking about possible responses to recent and expected ICE raids. These are "enforcement actions" in which major employers of immigrants are raided for "violations" of federal law. The strategy is to tell the stories about families being broken up when parents are taken away from their kids, etc.

Some states are "filling the gaps" in providing help to these families.

This really applies in the heartland. I am recalling recent raids at the Swift plant in Grand Island, as well as the recent raid in Postville, Iowa.
