Salem Oregon -- Immigrant rights groups are calling for a nationwide moratorium on workplace raids after Tuesday's immigration raid by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at a Portland food processing plant.
The group claims that the results of the raids has caused fear and trauma to the children and families (buzzword alert!) of those taken into custody.
" "Aggressive and far-reaching raids across the country have disrupted the lives of thousands of families," Aeryca Steinbauer, the coordinator of CAUSA {CAUSA }--said. "The struggle to support the separated families and hold (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) accountable for these inhumane raids must go hand-in-hand with our continued fight for fair and humane comprehensive immigration reform." "
People that are opposed to illegal immigration are giving the federal government kudos for the raid.
"I believe that if somebody is in violation of our laws, they should be accountable for it. " Jim Ludwick the president of McMinnville based Oregonians for immigration Reform said, "we urge federal officials to prosecute anybody who is aiding and abetting illegal aliens... it's time we start holding employers accountable for hiring people who are in our nation illegally."
