“America First: the Legacy of a Raid”

It’s been a decade since Postville, a small town in Iowa, suffered the largest immigration raid at a worksite in US history: 389 immigrants were arrested in the biggest kosher meatpacking plant in the country. With Donald Trump reviving George W. Bush’s immigration enforcement policies, Postville’s experience informs the impact, efficiency and repercussions of massive raids in worksites.
