Brothers and Sisters,

ICE arrests locally have reached a new low today. Two farm workers, both of whom were injured in an explosion about two years ago, were picked up by ICE as the workers were on their way to a doctor's appointment. We are extremely concerned about the medical and psychological consequences of these arrests (the explosion itself was traumatizing enough), and we are also appalled at the racism involved when people are "driving while Latino."
