| Postville, Ia. - The phone calls started at 5 a.m. They carried the same message: Immigration was coming. Paul Real, a lay pastor at the Ministerio Hispano, said his phone was ringing off the hook. "Calls have been flying around," he said Monday morning. "There are rumors everywhere." Twelve hours later, Hispanic businesses in downtown Postville were shuttered. Locks held the door at El Sabor Latino grocery store and restaurant. Bowls of chips and salsa were abandoned along with a half-empty bottle of Coke. |
