Postville immigrants file suit, claim abuse

Carolyn Hileman - The Voice | May 16, 2008 

A federal class action lawsuit filed Thursday by immigrants arrested in the Postville raid allege Agriprocessors acquired false identification for workers, along with numerous allegations of abuse from supervisors. Antonin Trinidad Candido, Roman Trinidad Candido and Maria del Refugio Masias, all Agriprocessors employees, filed the suit through the Peck Law Firm and Dornan & Lustgarten firm in Omaha, Neb. The suit alleges the detainees haven’t had adequate time for legal services and moving them out of Iowa to various detention centers, as Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said, would interfere with and effectively destroy the ongoing relationship between detainees and their attorneys.
