Arrests and ensuing protests have taken place at Target, a major grocer, and a local news outlet reported that on Tuesday, agents arrested a worker at a turkey-processing plant during a shift change. (Hormel, which owns Jennie O Turkey, did not respond to Civil Eats’ request for confirmation or details.)

The Land Stewardship Project (LSP), which supports Minnesota farms and rural communities, sent out a press release detailing the organization’s efforts to protect immigrants in the state’s rural communities.

“LSP supports our immigrant neighbors, no matter their status, because we believe we will not have a sustainable farm and food system until it is sustainable for everyone,” said Nick Olson, a farmer and organizer with LSP, who told Civil Eats he heard reports of farmers impacted but all were afraid to speak out due to safety concerns.

At the state press conference, Andrea Vaubel, Minnesota’s deputy commissioner of agriculture, said that the issue could have serious ripple effects. “We’re talking grocery stores, we’re talking food processing facilities, we’re talking meat processors, we’re talking about dairy farms,” she said. “The food supply will be significantly affected if this continues like this.”
