Conducted less than a week after the agency ended its &#8216;self-deportation&#8217; pilot program, a spokeswoman from ICE said that 350 employees from Howard Industries had been taken into custody. The factory had to be closed for the day due to the the sheer volume of the crackdown on its workforce. ICE agents were also reportedly raiding the Ellisville headquarters of the manufacturing company. The Mississippi Immigrants Rights Alliance, or MIRA, denounced the raids for spreading fear among families and the Latino community. Last Friday, the group had predicted impending ICE activity citing similarities between what was taking place along the Gulf Coast and what had occurred in Postville, Iowa earlier in the year. Preparations included the booking of dozens of hotel rooms by ICE while federal courts in Hattiesburg, Mississippi were reportedly being readied for the incoming cases. <\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: Bill Chandler, Executive Director of the Mississippi Immigrants&#8217; Rights Alliance (MIRA)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yourmira.org\">www.yourmira.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program As the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina approaches at the end of this week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out large scale raids just yesterday along the Gulf Coast Region of Mississippi.
