Mabel Center for Immigrant Justice

Mabel Center is justice in action. We believe that every human- regardless of status or place of origin- deserves the dignity & respect of legal representation

Immigration enforcement has become a system designed to break people — not protect communities. Families separated. Legal residents swept up. Human beings warehoused in conditions that violate their basic rights. We cannot look away.

[Mabel Center for Immigrant Justice @Imm_Justice]

This isn't only happening far from home. In June 2025, WBUR reported ICE was holding immigrants in inhumane conditions at the Burlington, MA field office — a building never designed for detention. Lawyers witnessed clients who were cold, hungry, and terrified.

Across the country, states and local leaders are pushing back against expanded federal immigration enforcement and working to protect community trust and due process. Here in MA, the PROTECT Act by the Massachusetts Black and Latino Legislative Caucus would do exactly that.

Justice requires more than words. It requires showing up. And we will continue to do just that.

[Mabel Center for Immigrant Justice @Imm_Justice]

This year has felt like a long journey. Inspired by our clients, we are motivated to move forward and to keep showing up with the conviction that the rule of law will prevail.
Happy new year!

We’re beyond grateful to the Massachusetts Bar Foundation and @massbar for a wonderful evening last night!

We appreciate your ongoing support and cherish the opportunity to be in community with fellow legal aid organizations and pro bono attorneys.

On DAF Day, we invite you to stand for justice with us. Today, it's more important than ever to have fast, free, quality legal representation that prevents unjust detention and deportation.
Use your DAF to support legal representation to asylum seekers: https://t.co/QTNk1Kict7

We are feeling this in our own community and hearing it from our clients. We will continue to fight unjust detention and for our clients' safety on the narrowing path to asylum.

@BBCNews @ionewells With 70% of asylum claims being rejected, and a record 60,000+ people now in detention, mass deportation policies have "changed the equation", CMS's Mario Russell notes. Detention is "leveraged" to encourage people to give up and voluntarily accept #deportation.

[Mabel Center for Immigrant Justice @Imm_Justice]

Mabel Center’s roots are in fighting against family detention & other inhumane policies aimed at asylum seekers. Many of us worked in family detention centers & saw firsthand the long-lasting damage it inflicts. We'll continue to fight against every iteration of this cruel policy

Family detention is never the answer. It didn’t work in previous administrations, it won’t work now. Families who've suffered persecution in home countries & punitive treatment by the US immigration system shouldn't be forced to suffer a prison-like system

[Mabel Center for Immigrant Justice @Imm_Justice]

We will fight against this policy that is not only cruel, but undermines the foundation of asylum law. By US law, those fleeing danger have the right to their day in court— how they arrive in the US is a function of necessity, not choice, and should never erode their rights.
