@amornetwork @GovRaimondo We are heartened by @GovRaimondo taking this first step toward justice for Rhode Island's immigrant community, but it's only a step.

We continue to demand that the state of Rhode Island close the Wyatt Detention Center and end all collaboration with ICE. #NeverAgainIsNow

@amornetwork @GovRaimondo @Fuerza_Laboral Last month, the board of the Wyatt Detention Center canceled their meeting rather than face protestors.

This month, the governor of Rhode Island committed to banning private prisons in the state.
