There's a new video circulating that features an interview with one of the
mother's that was detained during the New Bedford raid earlier this year.
You'll find the treatment of the women (and the breastfeeding mothers) to be
infuriating.  I've just blogged about it here:

off.html

 

Here's a quote from the clip...

The truth is, they did treat us badly...because some of the women who had
young children, who breastfed, I saw because I was near them, they even made
them take the milk from their breasts to see if it was true that they had
young children. They had almost all of them take milk from their breasts.
They even made fun of them. They said - one of them told another to pass an
oreo cookie to eat with milk, that they were milking the cows. We were in
the next room listening, and the women were crying.

 

I hope that you'll consider helping me spread the word about this. 

 

Warmly,

Jennifer Laycock
