After a few months of relative calm, ICE has once again picked up its operations in New Bedford. During the month of September, they arrested and detained at least 12 community members. They forcibly detained one man who was granted asylum in 2015 and who had applied for a green card, throwing him against the car door and eventually sending him to detention facilities in three different states before finally releasing him.

CCT needs your donation, now more than ever -- so we can support the families of the more than 50 community members who are still in ICE detention -- many in facilities outside of Massachusetts -- as well as the immigrant workers dismissed by Market Basket as the result of an ICE audit.

We started this GoFundMe campaign in March, after agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) stormed a car wash in New Bedford on March 11 and arrested three Guatemalan workers.

We know that the government has its eye on communities like ours, with large numbers of vulnerable immigrants and their children.

Your donations will help these workers and their families:
