On September 28th, MIC's Detention Legal Director Jacob Miller, along with the rest of the New Bedford rapid response team, including Jill Seeber and Daniel Santiago of MIC Legal Partner Mabel Center for Immigrant Justice, and Susan Church of MIC network ally Massachusetts Office for Refugees and Immigrants, met with Governor Maura Healey, who was in New Bedford to meet with families of community members impacted by the recent immigration enforcement actions, community leaders, and advocates.
The day began with a powerful listening session hosted by our Partner Centro Comunitario de Trabajadores (CCT), where members shared their direct experiences (thank you CCT for making the voices of impacted families heard!), then moved to the Community Economic Development Center (CEDC), where all the organizations met. Thank you to CCT and to Jacob Miller, for their leadership in the New Bedford community!
