Immigration Resources
In response to the increasing presence of ICE in our communities, we share the following resources with all families. We are ALL affected by ICE raids that detain and deport our loved ones and neighbors without due process. We stand together against the violent and unlawful separation of families.

The Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee (MIRACMN) is an all-volunteer, grassroots, multiracial, and multinational immigrant rights mass-movement organization. MIRAC fights for legalization for all, an end to immigration raids and deportations, an end to all anti-immigrant laws, and full equality in all areas of life. Learn more on their website.
