Federal agents yesterday unleashed "Operation Wagon Train," a massive six-state operation to round up illegal immigrants at meatpacking plants. It netted nearly 1,300 arrests. Over at TPMmuckraker, we've been trying to track the fallout. You can read our coverage here.

But we need your help to learn more.

Despite reports that legal residents were arrested and are being held incommunicado, DHS insists no such thing has happened. Parents are being held or deported while their kids live at school or with loved ones. The raids took place in six far-flung communities -- places like Cactus, Texas, and Marshalltown, Iowa -- where we can't get to easily.
