Watching the report of the ICE RAID on this plant(Agriprocessors),in Iowa and reading up on the background,I feel it is bad enough that these undocumented workers(Slaves) were rounded up like cattle and treated so poorely,but TO READ also how BADLY and CRUELLY they were treated by the owners of the plant AND THE HYGIENE,safety standards and animal humane treatment standards(or LACK THEREOF) that the plant was liable for was OUTRAGEOUS.
No wonder the residents of Postville had been picketing and protesting outside the gates about the wastewater,bloodspill,garbage,for weeks before this ICE raid.
The plant OWNERS ALSO REFUSED TO EVEN HIRE THE LOCAL WHITES! lol!
Probably because they would HAVE to obey the laws on fair minimum wage($10 p.h.),hours and benefits,preferring to use,instead,undocumented hispanic workers AT $6 p.h.terrible living and working conditions and RIDICULOUS speed of work/output ratios).
AND THEN,when all these people were 'carted'off to ICE facilities and treated terribly(including some women and children),the owners of Agriprocessors headed down to Texas,to hire MORE NON-WHITE(including Sudanese Muslims!!!)UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS to fill the gap!!!
Baring ALL these facts in mind,no wonder a lot of DECENT Jewish customers decided to STOP buying this plants products and bar use of the products.

The OWNERS of the plant should be HELD ACCOUNTABLE LEGALLY,their plant should be CLOSED DOWN completely,and the owners FINED HEAVILY for all their felonies and abuses of work/hygiene standards and workers-rights abuses,utilizing SLAVE-LABOUR and displaying racist profiling of workers.
Apparently the ICE raid was ONLY the tip of the kosher ICEBERG!
