595 caught in ICE raid in Mississippi

595 workers were taken by the Immigration Customs & Enforcement (ICE) in a factory in Laurel, Mississippi. It is the largest ICE raid so far in history this past Monday. So many families will be torn apart. What will happen to the children when their parents don't come home? Will they be shipped to the T. Don Hutto Detention Center in Taylor, Texas, or be shipped to many other facilities nationwide? Why does the government continue with the ICE raids? Are they trying to catch a terrorist by casting a big net over a Mexican pond of immigrants? El Muro (the fence) is still being built and will eventually be constructed along the USA/Mexico border on the USA side. Please contact the Red Cross if your family members are apprehended by accident. Because we look brown, we are also a target. If you have a disability and can't speak or hear, or communicate with ICE, more than likely you will be detained in a detention center. The "American Citizen" response is no longer in use. Identification!
