Vigils held to share families’ concerns about raids - Grand Island, Nebraska

“A Sunday prayer vigil offered support to Grand Islands Hispanic community, which was shaken last week by a federal immigration raid at a meatpacking plant in the city.

“For many of us here, we came to this country to help provide a better life for our kids,” said Alvaro Paiz, president of the Grand Island Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. “Its sad to see these kids crying because their fathers are in jail when all they wanted to do was come here to work.”"
