200 workers at the JBS plant in Ottumwa lost their legal status. I was there Thursday with Democratic candidate for Iowa Senate Nathan Sage (@sageforiowa). In 2020, they were essential workers; now, Trump and @SenJoniErnst want them deported. Here's what JBS says about their value.

My friend Nathan Sage for U.S. Senate. Three tours in Iraq. Mechanic. Advisor to small businesses. Please volunteer, donate, and spread the word. The billionaire class doesn't know about our world or care about us, and neither does Joni Ernst. Nathan cares, shows up, and we don't melt in the rain.
