Tom Harkin of Iowa wrote Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff on Tuesday to say he is appalled by the process used to detain and deport workers in raids earlier this month at six Swift & Co. packing plants, including one in Marshalltown.
Harkin, a Democrat, said a telephone hot line for information for family members set up by the government has gone unanswered at times. It “provided no information of any use” at other times, Harkin said in the letter.”
