Those Left Behind : Postville , Iowa

This is the face of what is left behind after the huge ICE raid in Postville, Iowa exactly one week ago today.
Half of the school system's 600 students were absent Tuesday, including 90 percent of Hispanic children, because their parents were arrested or in hiding.What will happen to these children? Will they get put into foster care? Many of them are likely U.S. Citizens and pledge to the U.S. every morning in school. Oh the irony.
