In Massachusetts, around 100 young children were left without their parents this week after a massive immigration raid on a leather-goods factory employing undocumented workers. Immigration officials say more than 300 were detained, most of them women. The company, Michael Bianco Incorporated, has been accused of employing workers in sweatshop-like conditions. Pregnant workers and some other workers with children have been released.
