Lucas County Commissioners Comment on ICE raids at Erie
County Greenhouses
The Lucas County
Commissioners released a statement last week on the U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids Tuesday at
greenhouses in Sandusky and Castalia and the arrests of 114
people.
“This surprise blitz by
government agents on the agricultural businesses in Sandusky
and Castalia to arrest workers is an unjust and deplorable
action that has created the avoidable separation of
families, including many with young children.
This large scale workplace
immigration raid has left children stranded without their
parents and disrupted the local communities of Erie County.
The effects are going to be felt for years to come. Children
are wondering if they will ever see their loved ones again.
These are people who are
trying to work in this county and pose no threat to American
security. They may be undocumented immigrants but they still
have rights and protections.”
