And the state of Massachusetts is urging the federal government to stop transferring jailed immigrant workers out of state until their children are found and cared for. Around 100 young children were left without parents this week following a massive raid on a factory employing undocumented workers. More than 300 people were detained, most of them women. Close to half have already been flown to a detention center in Texas, where they await possible deportation. In one case, a mother was detained despite having her seven-month-old infant hospitalized for dehydration. The mother was finally released last night.
