My quick searches on fec.gov show that the owner of the poultry processor (Peco Foods LLC, Hickman family) that was raided by ICE in Alabama is a big donor to the the GOP. Huh. Go figure. washingtonpost.com/immigration/ic…
*sorry technically the raids were in Mississippi but the company is Alabama based
How do GOP-aligned businesses in the deep white south square-up with Trump’s immigration crackdown on their businesses who employ undocumented immigrants?
Show me the white working class voters with “economic anxiety” that want to butcher factory meat on an assembly line for a living.
I’m gonna show my work. I searched Peco Foods mentioned in the articles on the ICE raids and found the chairman of the board who I then searched on FEC.gov and deduced it from there.
*sorry, President, not chairman of Peco poultry. I also acknowledge that sometimes a middle initial is used in a filing, sometimes it isn’t.
