ICE Raid's Aftermath in the San Luis Valley
July 27, 2007 4:56 PM
Colorado made national headlines last December, when federal Immigration agents raided the Swift meatpacking plant in Greeley, arresting 261 people.
Less well publicized was an immigration raid in April in the San Luis Valley. In the tiny town of Center, Colorado, federal agents arrested a couple of dozen undocumented workers at a potato plant.
The aftermath of the fallout is chronicled in the latest issue of High Country News. Aspen Public Radio's Kirk Siegler recently spoke with reporter Eric Mack, who covered the raids. Mack says immigrants in the valley are living in anxiety in the aftermath of the enforcement action.
