The Mississippi ICE raids happened in small towns near Jackson with a workforce made up largely of Latino immigrants.
JACKSON, Miss. — A Scott County child started kindergarten Tuesday. Wednesday, while the child was at school, their parent was arrested by federal agents, one of 680 people taken into custody after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted seven raids at food processing plants across Mississippi.
Reports from the scene of the raids mentioned children waving goodbye to their parents as the adults were taken into custody.
