On March 27 at 6:30 p.m., the full-length documentary “Abused: The Postville Raid” will be shown at The Unitarian Society of Ridgewood. The film tells the story of the most brutal, most expensive, and one of the largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in the history of the United States. By weaving together the personal stories of the individuals, the families, and the town directly affected by the events of May 12, 2008, the film presents the human face of the issue of immigration reform and serves as a cautionary tale against abuses of constitutional human rights. On May 12, 2008, 389 undocumented workers were arrested and placed in handcuffs and chains by 900 heavily armed ICE agents at Agriprocessors, Inc., the largest kosher slaughterhouse and meat-packing plant in the country. In just four days, nearly 300 of these workers were fast-tracked through the U.S. legal system, convicted of criminal charges, and sentenced to prison. Individuals were Unitarian Society to present ‘Postville Raid’ left humiliated, families were torn apart, and a community of great diversity was left in ruin. The undocumented workers were charged as felons and sentenced to five months in prison. Many of those arrested were the sole breadwinners in their families. As a result, the effects of the imprisonments were also felt in the detainees country of origin. After the film a discussion will be facilitated by the film producer Luis Argueta, along with co-producer Vivian Rivas. Child care will be available. Call Mandy Restivo at (212) 304-0647.
