Over 650 people were arrested throughout Mississippi — leaving the children of those taken into custody scared, uninformed, and without guardian supervision as they waited for their parents to pick them up from school

By the end of the day, over 650 people had been arrested — leaving the children of those taken into custody scared, uninformed, and without guardian supervision as they waited for their parents to pick them up from school.
The outlet also reported that at one point an 11-year-old named Magdalena Gomez Gregorio cried out, “Government, please show some heart. Let my parents be free … I need my dad and mommy. My dad didn’t do anything, he’s not a criminal.” On Wednesday, BuzzFeed News spoke to a woman named Dianne, who says her fiancé was arrested at the chicken processing plant in Mississippi where he worked. He has lived in the U.S. for more than 20 years, she said, and has three teenage children, whose mother was also arrested during the raids. Dianne recalled picking the children up from their school: “They were crying. They were shocked … I’m just trying to stay strong for them. I’m trying to remain as calm as possible.
BuzzFeed News reported on Thursday morning that, according to the owner of the gym, all of the children had been placed with a relative by Wednesday evening, and that some of the arrested workers had been “shuttled back to town.”
