AIDNW Presents a Performance of “The Detention Lottery” An Immersive Theater Experience Coming to Tacoma
Hundreds of thousands of immigrants move through the federal detention system each year. The larger detention centers, such as the one in Tacoma, have their own courts.

Tacoma City Council Passes Resolution 41378
The City of Tacoma will provide $10,000 to AIDNW for phone funds for detainees!

Starbucks Supports AIDNW Immigrant Programs
Last October, the Community Outreach Committee of nonprofit Advocates for Immigrants in Detention Northwest (“AIDNW”) organized a warm coat drive so immigrants held in the NW Ice Processing center could “feel the warmth” of the South Sound community instead of the usual northwest rain and wind when released.

Reflections From The AIDNW Welcome Center
“When you realize just what they have been through to get here: weeks to months in detention, the journey just to get to our southern border, some of the horrible conditions in their home country. They are survivors and I’m in awe.”
