“The entire community has been terrorized,” said Gene Bruskin, head of the Smithfield Justice Campaign, a national coalition backed by the union. “Parents are being torn from their young children who don’t know where they are. Many of these workers have given their life blood to this company for (years) and now are being summarily handed over to be arrested and discarded. It is unconscionable and continues Smithfield’s pattern of callous disregard for the wellbeing of its workers.”

What this guy want, armed resistance by Smithfield management?

I think he's trying to make the case that Smithfield obeying Federal law is equivalent to the beatings miners got in WVa back at the turn of the 20th Century.

He IS a mouthpiece, after all, so one only expects drivel to emerge. Sad to see this kind of distortion this fast being treated this seriously by alleged adult reporters. These people should, of course, know better (likely they do) but the problem is getting wrapped around both the Catholic angle AND the poor angle, not to mention that these are 'persons of color'. Rather a bonanza for the hypocritical leftist press, wouldn't you say?
