CLM is committed to upholding services for children living in the Commonwealth, regardless of immigration status. Targeting immigrants without a criminal charge has a chilling effect on children and their families accessing resources that support healthy child development, attending school, accessing health care, and obtaining employment. We urge families to know their rights when it comes to immigration enforcement.
