#SupportRuth

Ruth, a beloved member of our broader immigrant justice network, was detained by federal agents at Logan airport yesterday afternoon as she was traveling home to her family. She is a lawful permanent resident, a grandmother, a lifelong community advocate, and a member of the Worcester community. We need to mobilize our networks to demand Ruth’s immediate release and return to her family. We are deeply concerned for her health and well-being as she continues to be held. A rally will be held at 12pm at Moakley Courthouse in Boston on April 30, 2025.
