ICE has been releasing immigrants en masse from the Batavia Federal Detention Center, mainly from Central America and Haiti at the southern border, in a process that further traumatizes them and makes it harder for them to reunite with their families.

An estimated 100 immigrants have been left at a gas station in Batavia this past month alone, with their belongings in onion bags and limited access to resources.

This Thursday, December 9th at 1:30pm, JFMF will host a press conference to raise awareness about the crisis at the northern border.

For those unable to attend in person, there will be a Facebook livestream. You’re encouraged to watch and share on your social media in show of solidarity.
