• Kids, Babies Stranded When Feds Raid Sweatshop, Detain Illegal Workers

  Dozens of young children and babies were stranded at schools and with babysitters Tuesday, after the F.B.I. raided a factory suspected of hiring illegal workers, in New Bedford, Mass. Over 300 employees - mostly women - of Michael Bianco Inc., were detained and are facing possible deportation.  Massachusetts Gov.
