Tagged: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Iowa, Postville raidPosted on: May 28th, 2008
Leaders of a congressional committee are pressing the U.S. Department of Labor for answers on whether an ongoing investigation of child- labor and wage violations at a meatpacking plant in Postville, Ia., will be compromised by a May 12 immigration raid there.
Democratic leaders of the House Education and Labor Committee wrote to Labor Secretary Elaine Chao on May 16. They’re asking for more information on the complaints that prompted the Agriprocessors Inc. investigation. They also want to know whether federal labor officials had any involvement with the raid, which was conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.”*
