URGENT: UFW worker leaders in NY have been detained

[Omaha Steve]

URGENT: This morning in Western NY, federal immigration agents stopped a bus of farm workers from Lynn-Ette & Sons Farms. They had a list of names, including UFW worker leaders who have been organizing to unionize their workplace. Those workers were detained.

After worker leaders were detained, the bus transported the remaining workers to the worksite.

The targeting of known union supporters in this action is deeply troubling and raises questions about whether immigration enforcement is being misused to intimidate organizing workers.

We will be getting back to you in coming days with updates, but for now ask you to sign the pledge to support these workers.
