allies--such as Greater Boston Legal Services -- have<BR>responded to the
devastation of families caused by the March 6th Immigration & Customs
Enforcement (ICE) raid on a defense contractor in New Bedford, MA.<BR>ICE
rounded up and incarcerated around 350 textile workers, mostly women, leaving
nearly 200 children separated from their parents. Families, neighbors and
friends have done their best to care for these unfortunate victims, with limited
resources. Three days later, a Boston Globe editorial referred to the episode as
"the U.S. immigration system at its worst".<BR><BR>Celebrating its 20th
anniversary, MIRA is the only statewide organization the unites community
groups, human service providers, civic and religious leaders, state and local
agencies, legal services & labor organizations to work together to uphold
the rights and opportunities of newcomers.<BR><BR>*************<BR><BR>NEXT
