Can't Get Enough of Postville! ACLU Obtains Government "Manual" for Prepackaged Guilty Pleas for Prosecution of Immigrant Workers
In case you missed it, the ACLU obtained a government "manual" distributed to defense lawyers assigned to represent immigrant workers arrested and prosecuted in last May's Postville, Iowa, meatpacking raids. It contains prepackaged scripts for plea and sentencing hearings as well as documents providing for guilty pleas and waivers of rights that were used to push the more than 300 Postville workers through mass criminal proceedings as quickly as possible. Check it out!
