Detained (28 min.)
On March 6, 2007, workers at a New Bedford factory producing vests
for the U.S. military were arrested in a raid conducted by
Immigration, Customs and Enforcement (ICE) officers. Of the 361
undocumented immigrants arrested that day, the majority were women,
many with small children. Detained follows families affected by the
immigration raid.
In Spanish and English with English subtitles.
