Postville, Iowa: Largest Single-Site Worksite Raid in U.S. History

ICE arrests 389 workers at the Agriprocessors Inc. kosher meatpacking plant in Postville, Iowa — the largest single-site worksite enforcement action in U.S. history. Workers were charged with federal identity fraud crimes; most were from Guatemala and Mexico. The raid devastated the local community; Postville's population fell dramatically and the plant eventually filed for bankruptcy.
