Introduction to Congressional Hearing on ICE Raids

Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey introduces a hearing by the Congressional Committee on Education and Labor.

She talks of raids in her district in San Rafael and Novato, in Marin County, California. It appears that the Postville ICE raid provoked today's meeting.

She tells of 4.7 million children in the U.S.that have one parent who is undocumented. Two thirds of these children are U.S. citizens. That over 200 children had parents arrested in Postville Raid, that many of these children are sleeping in St. Bridget Church.

This video is over 8 minutes long, but well worth watching in its entirety.
