THE RAID IN POSTVILLE: A REPEAT. Twenty months ago, Postville, Iowa was the scene of the largest immigration raid in U.S. history. The federal raid against Agriprocessors meat plant resulted in the arrest of nearly 400 workers, a company in bankruptcy, separated immigrant families, a crippled local economy and a city government in financial trouble. In a roundtable, a filmmaker, human rights advocates, detained immigrants, and Postville residents revisit the immigration trial and the outlook for the town.
