Representatives from the Guatemalan Embassy have been in eastern Iowa, talking with the U.S. Attorney's office. Earlier this week, the embassy asked for reduced sentences for dozens of Guatemalan citizens arrested during the May 12th immigration raid at the Agriprocessors plant in Postville.
Most are serving five month sentences for carrying fake ID's. Early release might allow some of the illegal immigrants to return home with their families. The U.S. Attorney's office will not comment on what, if any, action will be taken.
