## Resource

ICE has been targeting labor leaders and organizers along with thousands of workers who are now more afraid than ever to fight for better working conditions. In this report, investigative journalist John Carlos Frey traces how that pattern has grown from a single farm in Albion, New York into a nationwide crisis in 2026 — one that is reshaping labor markets, collapsing organizing campaigns, and keeping some of the most vulnerable workers in America in a state of permanent fear. https://portside.org/2025-05-11/they-actually-had-list-ice-arrests-workers-involved-landmark-labor-rights-case https://documentedny.com/2025/08/27/lyn-ette-farms-ice-detention/ https://theraidpodcast.org/ Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor ("distributor's affiliates").
