Maine factory workers shielded by a community 'wall' against ICE raids

In Westbrook, Maine, volunteers and faith leaders formed a standing, singing 'human wall' outside American Roots to protect immigrant workers from ICE activity, as many employees are immigrants working legally. The company has on-site legal counsel, and workers are escorted out in small groups, with production affected when people choose not to come in.
