Eight immigrants went to work in Harrisonburg on Tuesday morning and didn’t return home that night.

Disappeared, all eight likely not returning home for dinner that night, maybe never. All likely had no criminal records; they were simply working hard, putting in manual labor, to put food on the tables of their families.

On the pod: Crystal Graham tracked down the story of what happened to them, talking with a witness at the scene where the FBI and Homeland Security detained the eight, and threatened locals who tried to intervene to inform the immigrants of their rights.
