DESCRIPTION:As the presidential campaign heats up, immigration policy will continue to 
 be a topic of debate. The Second Saturday Documentary Series invites the 
 community to look at the impacts of current policy -- impacts on 
 undocumented workers, their families, and their adopted communities -- with 
 the screening of "abUSed: the Postville Raid" on Saturday, January 9, at 
 1:30 p.m., at Niles Discovery Church, 36600 Niles Blvd., Fremont. The 
 screening is free (though donations are welcome to help cover expenses) and 
 will be followed by a discussion about the issues raised in the 
 film.\n\n"abUSed" takes an in-depth look at one particular ICE raid to 
 expose how immigration policy and policy enforcement touch multiple layers 
 of society. The raid took place on May 12, 2008, at Agriprocessors, Inc., 
 which was then the largest kosher slaughterhouse plant in the country. 389 
 undocumented workers were arrested, handcuffed, and chained by 900 heavily 
 armed ICE agents. \n\nAgents herded the workers onto prison buses and took 
 them to the National Cattle Congress -- a fairground that the government 
 outfitted as a human detention and processing center. There the workers 
 went through a makeshift judicial assembly line designed to convict them of 
 a felony and deport them. In just 4 days, nearly 300 of these workers were 
 fast-tracked through the US legal system, convicted of criminal charges, 
 and sentenced to five months in prison followed by deportation. \n\nThe 
 story doesn't end with the humiliation of the individuals who were 
 arrested. Neither does the documentary. The reality of families were torn 
 apart and a community of great diversity was left in ruins are also 
 explored.\n\nThe Second Saturday Documentary Series is co-sponsored by 
 Niles Discovery Church and the San Jose Peace & Justice Center.\n
