That's how many people were arrested in Laurel, Mississippi at one of the largest worksite raids in American history today. The question now is whether ICE and the Justice Department will blow it and do a re-run of Postville, Iowa or they will provide due process, humane treatment, and, most importantly since the workers are likely to be charged criminally, adequate access to attorneys.

This would've been funny, if it wasn't tragic:
"School Superintendent Randy J. McCaulley said the school system has an emergency plan in place for an immigration raid, just as it does for other possible calamities, such as a tornado, fire or intruder."

When regular citizens have to prepare for ICE/DHS and "other calamities" , there is no need to comment
