ICE raid on NYS farm shows link between immigrant labor, agriculture

April 26, 2018

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid on an Upstate New York dairy farm last week resulted in the arrest of an undocumented farmworker and has raised questions about the legitimacy of such federal actions. Mary Jo Dudley, Director of the Cornell University Farmworker Program and a faculty member in the Department of Development Sociology, says that immigration policies need to change both to protect the rights of farmworkers and to support the struggling dairy industry.
