Hartford Deportation Defense is an immigrant-led mutual aid collective that works to fight for the rights of all immigrants in the Hartford area, so that we can all have access to a dignified, peaceful, and joyful life. We think ICE, CBP (Customs and Border Patrol), and immigration detention should be abolished. Nobody should be put in a cage for trying to find a better life.
