Kansas officials urge ICE to slow meat plant raids

Original: Kansas officials ask ICE to slow enforcement operations at meat processing plants

Kansas officials have asked US Immigration and Customs Enforcement to scale back enforcement operations at the state's meat processing plants. The request reflects concern that workplace raids disrupt a key industry that depends heavily on immigrant labor and affect local communities. The detail has been reported by NPR, though officials' full reasoning and ICE's response are not yet clear.

Why now: Immigration enforcement in workplaces is a live political issue and the meatpacking industry relies heavily on immigrant workers
