At Delaware North, 250 Delaware Ave., Buffalo. Join the Immigrant & Refugee Justice Task Force for our weekly (socially distanced & masked) vigil outside of ICE’s Buffalo field office at the Delaware North building! This week we are happy have members from Justice for Migrant Families and the Rochester Rapid Response Network join us in action to amplify the voices of the hunger strikers currently being held in solitary at Batavia, and to stand in solidarity with all those currently held in detention and affected by the violence that ICE inflicts.
If you can’t make it in-person, tune into JFMF’s Facebook Livestream!
We also ‘IRJ’ you to call ICE Field Director, Thomas Feeley, at 716-464-5800 to demand: the release of all those detained; the closure of the Buffalo Federal Detention Facility in Batavia, NY; and the immediate end to the use of solitary confinement.
