MIRA Coalition joining national immigrant-serving organizations in demanding that USCIS reinstate funding

Boston, MA – On Friday, April 25, the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy (MIRA) Coalition joined as a plaintiff to Solutions in Hometown Connections et al. v. Noem et al., arguing that the Trump administration unjustly stripped MIRA of $300,000 in previously allocated funding towards the organization’s citizenship services. MIRA Coalition Executive Director Elizabeth Sweet issued the following statement on the development:

“MIRA is proud to join in this fight against the Trump administration who wrongfully cut off hundreds of thousands of dollars in previously allocated funding that assists Green Card holders who legally reside in the U.S. apply for citizenship. Immigrants who have lived and worked in the U.S. deserve support in navigating the confusing, expensive and lengthy citizenship application process and we will not  turn our backs on them now. We look forward to making our case in court alongside immigrant-serving organizations from across the country.”
