Last week, ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) raided seven different Mississippi Koch Foods poultry plants, detaining nearly seven hundred people in its biggest roundup in over a decade.

The brutality on display was striking: undocumented workers ripped from their families, their children and dependents treated with an utter lack of compassion. It was par for the course for an agency that sees due process as an afterthought and instilling fear as its animating mission. As many others have put it, “the cruelty is the point.”

But this particular raid wasn’t just (cruel) business as usual for ICE. It came on the heels of a $3.75 million settlement from Koch Foods for claims of racial discrimination, national origin discrimination, and sexual harassment of Mississippi plant workers by their supervisors.
