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.
Volunteers share their firsthand experiences greeting released immigrants and sorting out their travel options to reach family.

“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.”
