Postville is an obscure meatpacking town in the northeast corner of
Iowa. Here, in the most unlikely of places, unparalleled diversity
drew international media. Now people declare the town's experiment
in multiculturalism dead. It was not native Iowans, or the
newly-arrived Orthodox Jews, or the immigrant workers who made
Postville fail. Postville was stopped in its tracks by a massive
raid by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on May 12th
2008. 20% of the population was arrested, forcing the closure of
the town's kosher meatpacking plant. The raid exposed the
disastrous enforcement of immigration policy, the exploitation of
Postville by activists, and disturbing questions about the packing
house's operators.
