Congressional Leaders Visit Postville Posted 28 July 2008 Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, including Representatives Luis Gutierrez, Albio Sires and Joe Baca, visited Saint Bridget's Catholic Church in Postville on Saturday, July 26, to hear first hand about the May 12 federal immigration raid. The group talked with dozens of people affected by the event. They included women whose husbands are being detained, underage workers who say they were employed at the plant and members of the local religious community. Many members of the congressional delegation were outraged with what they heard. Nearly 400 people were arrested during the raid at Agriprocessors, the largest kosher meatpacking plant in the United States.
