There is an immigration raid occurring at the Agriprocessors Inc. complex in Postville, Iowa (i.e. the kosher meat packing plant). There has been speculation for weeks that an immigration raid was in the works somewhere in Eastern Iowa due to the fact that the feds had leased the entire Waterloo Cattle Congress grounds for several weeks and were not answering any question as to the reason for the lease.

Reports state that at least 700 arrests are likely. Government officials are also saying that they are trying to take care of any health and child care issues the arrestees might have (likely to avoid the publicity nightmare they faced after the Marshalltown raid). But I’m wondering how many illegals will cop to having kids when they’re being asked about it by federal agents. I’m guessing not many, and then we’ll be hearing the same sad stories of families being divided by the big, bad government.
