“Hundreds of northeast Iowa Hispanics are living in fear they will be targeted in federal immigration raids, in the wake of the Postville raid Monday. Local volunteers are working to calm the confused and terrified family members left behind.

The anxiety is being felt across Dubuque County, where Hispanics reportedly are not showing up for work and are afraid to leave their homes.

“We’re getting calls from people who are asking if it’s safe to go to work. They panicked when they heard what happened in Postville and walked off their jobs to go see if their families were OK,” said Terri Reynolds, immigration outreach coordinator for the Dubuque Archdiocese Catholic Charities.”*
