Rally Attracts Supporters on Both Sides of Immigration Issue Posted 28 July 2008 Yesterday afternoon, Sunday, July 27, religious leaders and immigration rights activists paraded through the streets of Postville in an organized protest to federal immigration regulations and in favor of human rights. Postville residents say their town has never been the same since the immigration raid in May 2008. The event attracted national attention and continues to be the epicenter of recent immigration reform activism and discussion. Yesterday, people from all over the country came Postville to march for immigrants' rights. They maintain the government treated immigrants unfairly and hope such a visual demonstration will help convince elected officials to change the laws.  A group of counter protestors also lined the streets of the downtown area in Postville. They shouted at the marchers and said illegal immigrants are hurting America's economy.
