(CNN)It was the first day of school in Morton, Mississippi, Wednesday, and many undocumented parents and their children went together to the first morning drop off, said Elizabeth Iraheta. By the end of the day, some of those children were all alone, she said.

US immigration authorities arrested about 680 undocumented immigrants at seven sites in six different cities in Mississippi on Wednesday. The raids are "believed to be the largest single-state immigration enforcement operation in our nation's history," said US Attorney for the Southern District of Mississippi Mike Hurst.

Officials declined to provide details about what sites had been targeted, citing what they said was an ongoing criminal investigation. CNN affiliates reported the raids occurred at food processing plants throughout the state.

Iraheta shared a Facebook video she recorded outside a plant in Morton that showed an 11-year-old girl sobbing and begging an officer for a chance to see her mother as bystanders tried to comfort her.

2. What is being done to these children will be a stain on our country for generations

This is a new policy, to rip parents away from their American born children is a Trump policy.

And people should know what is going on with these kids, they are being taken by Bethany Christian Services in many cases. This is a Devos company that collects tax dollars, but then sells these kids for adoption to "good conservative families" while collecting tens of thousands of dollars in fees per child. They are literally pushing these policies so they can profit off the children. This is what evil looks like.

6. The mayor should know exactly which government departments

and local NGOs are involved. Parents have been arrested all our lives, and in areas where this tends to happen bureaucracies have always had procedures, with various degrees of competence and commitment (budget), for looking after the children left behind.

Fortunate ones still have a parent or relatives who are allowed to keep them while they apply for legal custody. Some eventually join deported parents. Some go to institutions, and no doubt some fall through the cracks, particularly when poor parents on the move from job to job don't have connections to the community.

Then there's the problem of undocumented children who parents disappear.
