Listen to NPR story: Immigration Raid Leaves Mark on Iowa Town

Postville, Iowa, is home to the kosher meat packer Agriprocessors, which was the target of a huge raid by federal immigration agents last month. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid may have a lasting effect on city finances and the plant itself.

The tiny northeast town was home to the nation's largest kosher meatpacker, which recently lost nearly half of its work force after a huge raid by immigration officials. The raid sent shockwaves through the town, which has served as a multicultural model.
