Thirty-two of the 36 people arrested in an immigration raid at Janco Composites in Mishawaka are back in Michiana. At least two will be deported, and two are still in detention. St Adalbert's Church hosted a fundraiser and donation drive for the families affected by the raid.

The pastor of St. Adalbert's says the families are having trouble providing the most basic necessities for their children, including diapers and food.

"We can't provide all the needs, by any means, I mean the needs go way beyond our resources, but we especially want to make sure we're taking care of the children," said Father Christopher Cox.

Cox says many of the people arrested may have to leave the country by the end of the Summer.
