DHS INSPECTOR GENERAL PROBING ICE RAID

The arrest of 361 immigrants in a March 2007 raid at the Michael Bianco, Inc. leather-goods plant in New Bedford, Massachusetts has been highly controversial because of the separation of many children from their parents. Now the DHS Office of Inspector General is investigating the family separations and whether detainees should have been held in facilities closer to New Bedford (as opposed to Texas where dozens of detainees ended up).
