Understanding and Navigating ICE Detention In MA

  • Unitarian Universalist Mass Action Network P.O. Box 300159, 655 Centre Street Boston, MA, 02130 United States (map)

RSVP HERE!

Do you want to better understand how ICE detention works in Massachusetts? Do you want to be prepared to support loved ones or community members detained by ICE? Join the Boston Immigration Justice Accompaniment Network (BIJAN) to learn about ICE detention in MA, and how you can support detained people and their loved ones to navigate this system. Rev. Elizabeth Nguyen (BIJAN) and attorney Leah Hastings (Prisoners’ Legal Services of MA) will share information on what to do right after someone is arrested by ICE, where people are detained, how to find someone in detention, how to get phone numbers and visitation approved, how to add money to someone’s commissary, and more. We will also discuss what information and documents are helpful to gather ahead of time to prepare for the possibility of ICE arrest and detention. We hope through this workshop you will be better prepared and resourced to support those detained and impacted by ICE detention in MA.
