Coincidencia? No Lo Creemos: Mississippi Food Plant Raided By ICE Almost 1-Year After Settling $3.75 Million Discrimination Lawsuit

Source: NurPhoto / Getty ICE Raids Mississippi Food Processor That Settled Hispanic Discrimination Suit The ICE raids in Mississippi are tearing immigrant families apart and the shady Trump administration couldn’t be happier. Another shady organization who might not be shedding tears over the raids is a company called Koch Foods. On August 1, 2018 Koch Foods settled a $3.75 million lawsuit filed by eleven Hispanic employees for discrimination. Employees said they were subjected to a hostile working environment and various forms of mistreatment based on countries of origin according to the Clarion Ledger . Not-so-ironically, one of the places that was raided by ICE this week was, wait for it, Koch Foods. According to USAToday , Desiree Hughes, a legal immigrant, had several friends snatched by ICE and waited for 24 straight hours in hopes of their return. “(I’m) hurt. Heartbroken,” Hughes said before taking a deep breath. “I just want our families to come home. Because without their mamas and papas, how are they going to take care of their babies? How are they going to get to school? How are they going to pay their bills? They’re going to lose everything.” ICE raided the plant as the night shift was ending and day shift was beginning, likely to ensure that they could ruin as many lives as possible, and took those who they thought might be living in the U.S. illegally. Then, she went back to Koch Foods. She and others whose loved ones were swept up in the raids gathered in nearby parking lots on Wednesday, hoping that buses would bring them back. The crowd swelled to hundreds of people overnight, she said. They stayed for hours, anxiously and tearfully waiting to be reunited with family and friends. “When the bus comes, oh, everybody was jumping for joy. It was very exciting. But at the same time, it was sad because a bunch of us waited for the loved ones to get off the bus and a lot of them didn’t get off,” she said. Coincedence? We think not

Artist Creates Bronze Sculpture In Maleah Davis’ Honor

Read this article:

H ouston-based artist Shirley Scarpetta is ensuring that the memory of Maleah Davis is kept alive. In honor of the four-year-old, whose body was discovered in Arkansas just over a month ago, Scarpetta is creating a bronze sculpture in her likeness, CNN reported. MALEAH DAVIS: Houston artist creates sculpture of 4-year-old https://t.co/yY6DTWMRBd — ABC13 Houston (@abc13houston) June 29, 2019 The artist—who is an award-winning self-taught bronze sculptor—was inclined to create the statue because she felt deeply impacted by the horrific turn of events that took place within the case. As a mother, she couldn’t even begin to imagine having something so tragic happen to her children and was extremely upset upon hearing that Maleah lost her life. Scarpetta says Maleah serves as a representation of children who were taken from this earth too soon and that violence against children must stop; that’s the message she wanted to convey through her artistry. “It’s for all of us. Our children are so vulnerable, and people need to be reminded to leave a legacy of kindness and loving one another,” she said in a statement, according to CNN. A private donor is helping bring the sculpture to fruition and it will take about a month to complete. There aren’t any details about where the sculpture will live after its finished, but it most likely will be in Houston. Scarpetta has been showing the progression of the sculpture on Instagram. “I couldn’t get her out of my head for a while now. When this happens, I usually have an out of body experience and have to sculpt it,” she posted . “Her tragedy should not have happened. All those that have babies have a massive responsibility to protect, love, and nurture our babies.”   View this post on Instagram   I couldn’t get her out of my head for a while now.

There are plans in the works to have the Red Lake Road overpass in Hempstead County named after her. Maleah went missing on April 30 and her remains were found on May 31 in Fulton, Arkansas. In the case, her mother’s fiancé Derion Vence was charged with tampering with a corpse but has evaded more serious charges.
