Allegations that federal officials illegally rounded up and arrested almost 1,300 Swift factory workers during raids in Marshalltown and across the country are being highlighted today at a public hearing that includes testimony from former Gov. Tom Vilsack.
“Our nation has no real comprehensive immigration policy, so instead we use scare tactics to mark the failure of our system,” Vilsack said to about 100 people this morning at Plymouth Church in Des Moines.
Vilsack alleged that federal immigration officials used humiliation, opposite-sex searches and long bouts of secrecy in the Dec. 12, 2006, raids at Swift & Co. in Marshalltown, where 90 people were arrested for immigration violations.”*
