Court Interpreter for Workers Rounded Up In Largest Immigration Raid in U.S. History Breaks Confidentiality Code to Speak Out

IndyMedia SF NewsWire - Mon, 07/14/2008 - 14:49
Monday, July 14, 2008 :On May 12th, Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested nearly 400 workers at a meatpacking plant in Postville, Iowa in the largest immigration raid in U.S. history. Many were sent to prison. We speak with Erik Camayd-Freixas, a professor and Spanish-language court interpreter who was flown into Iowa for the trial. He broke the code of confidentiality among legal interpreters to describe the workers predicament in what he calls, "The saddest procession I have ever witnessed." He says most of the workers were peasants from Guatemala and did not fully understand the criminal charges they were facing. He also says that court-appointed lawyers had little time to meet with the workers, many of whom ended up waiving their rights.
