POSTVILLE - Community leaders gathered on Wednesday afternoon to express their shock and disapproval of the treatment of the workers who were arrested in the immigration raid earlier this week.

"We cannot have something like this happen to our community on a permanent basis. We've got to get back up on our feet," said Paul Rael, Hispanic Ministries.
