“GREENFIELD — A call to action from two activist groups in the Pioneer Valley brought about a group of roughly 50 protesters to the Franklin County House of Corrections Friday morning.

The message advocated was twofold: Abolish the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE, or at least the detention centers it oversees and to advocate for policy regarding the rights of immigrants in the Legislature that looks like it will be left out of the state budget Gov. Charlie Baker is expected to sign by the end of the month.

‘We want to bring the community together to show we stand with immigrants,’ said Eduardo Santiago, who is of Mexican descent and a member of Pioneer Valley Worker Center, a co-organizer of the protest. ‘We’re coming out here today to also send a message to our elected representatives and officials.’”
