What does the failure to enact comprehensive immigration reform mean for Iowa communities? The presenters examine three recent efforts to prosecute undocumented immigrant workers in Iowa: the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids on meatpacking plants in Marshalltown and Postville and the targeting of unauthorized immigrants by local law officers in Sioux County. Emphasis is placed on both the impacts of these law enforcement efforts and on community responses.
