“The mass arrests of suspected undocumented workers by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents during a raid at the local Swift & Co. meat packing plant here last week likely will hurt the ability of First Covenant Church and other congregations to reach out to the Hispanic community, says Pastor John Stewart.
