About 30 children, some as young as 3 months old, were left without their parents after immigration agents raided a poultry plant and took the parents away to face possible deportation.
While some of the arrested workers were able to call and arrange care for their children, others were not and a local church had to help make arrangements.
The mayor said what happened to the children was a shame.
"A lot of those families had kids in day care in different places, and they didn't know why Mommy and Daddy didn't come pick them up," Arkadelphia Mayor Charles Hollingshead said.
