BUTLER COUNTY RESIDENTS: Your voice matters.

The Butler County Sheriff's Office participates in the federal 287(g) program, which allows local deputies to assist with certain immigration enforcement activities.

For many community members, this raises important questions about public trust, community safety, the role of local law enforcement, and the impact these agreements can have on immigrant families living in our neighborhoods.

The Butler County Commissioners hold public meetings every other Wednesday, and residents have the opportunity to speak directly to elected officials during public comment.

Communities are strongest when people participate, stay informed, and make their voices heard!

06/02/2026

We are advocating for our neighbors in ICE detention centers because we refuse to tell our children we were silent.

Hundreds of people remain in ICE detention facilities across the country.

Many have no criminal record and are being detained while pursuing legal pathways to remain in the United States.

They are parents, workers, students, asylum seekers, and members of our communities. They deserve dignity, due process, and the chance to be heard.

We hope you'll continue learning about what is happening inside immigration detention facilities and stand alongside the immigrant families and communities being impacted.

A new feature from PennLive tells the story of the “Pilgrimage of Dignity,” an 8-day, 130-mile walk from Pittsburgh to Moshannon Valley Detention Center undertaken by Frontline DIGNITY volunteers and supporters from across PA.

The purpose of the pilgrimage was simple: to raise awareness about immigration detention, the impact detention has on families and communities, and the stories of the people being held inside ICE’s largest detention facility in the Northeast.

Along the journey, participants walked through towns and rural communities, engaged neighbors in conversation, built relationships, and reflected on what it means to uphold human dignity in a time of increasing family separation and immigration detention.

“Not enough people know about this facility. Not enough people know about the stories and the trauma of the folks that are detained there and the impact that has on families.” - Jaime Martinez, Executive Director, Frontline DIGNITY

We’re grateful to Joshua Vaughn and PennLive for documenting this journey and continuing to shine a light on conditions inside Moshannon Valley Detention Center through their ongoing reporting.

We are proud to announce a new partnership between Frontline DIGNITY and AyĂşdate!

AyĂşdate is a PA-based organization dedicated to expanding access to affordable, culturally competent mental health services in Spanish through telehealth. Their mission is to connect Spanish-speaking Pennsylvanians with bilingual therapists and mental health resources while reducing barriers to care for underserved communities.

Over the years, AyĂşdate has built an incredible network of more than 350 bilingual mental health professionals and has helped facilitate over 2,400 mental health sessions for Spanish-speaking individuals and families across Pennsylvania.

Through this partnership, AyĂşdate will help connect immigrant neighbors and families impacted by detention, deportation, family separation, and immigration-related trauma with trusted mental health resources and Spanish-speaking providers.

We often meet families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. We see the fear, grief, uncertainty, and trauma that can follow immigration enforcement activity. While access to legal support, emergency resources, and community assistance is critical, healing also requires emotional and mental health support. That is why this partnership is so meaningful to us.

We're deeply grateful to the AyĂşdate team for collaborating with us to ensure immigrant families have access to care that is culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and rooted in dignity.

We encourage our community to learn more about AyĂşdate, support their work, and help us build a stronger network of care for immigrant families across Pennsylvania.

🚨 3 ICE DETENTION CENTERS, 1 ALARMING PATTERN

Across the country, immigrant families, attorneys, elected officials, journalists, faith leaders, and advocates are raising concerns about what is happening inside immigration detention facilities.

In Florida, the population at "Alligator Alcatraz" has dropped dramatically in recent weeks, raising questions about where detainees are being transferred and whether families and legal advocates can effectively track and support them.

In New Jersey, detainees at Delaney Hall have launched a hunger and labor strike while protests continue outside the facility, with calls for improved conditions, transparency, and accountability.

In Pennsylvania, Representatives Summer Lee and Chris Deluzio recently conducted an unannounced oversight visit to Moshannon Valley Detention Center, where concerns were raised regarding medical care, treatment of pregnant women, communication barriers, food quality, access to information about immigration cases, and allegations of sexual assault.

While these facilities are located in different states, they raise many of the same questions about due process, access to legal support, family separation, transparency, oversight, and human dignity.

Our immigrant neighbors deserve access to information, legal support, humane treatment, and the ability to communicate with their loved ones without fear. We hope you will continue informing yourself about the realities many immigrant families are facing and refuse to look away.

A few moments of gratitude on this beautiful Friday! đź’™

We're incredibly grateful to every volunteer, donor, rapid responder, dispatcher, community partner, and neighbor who helps make this work possible. Frontline DIGNITY exists because ordinary people continue choosing solidarity, compassion, and human dignity in extraordinary times.

A special thank you to .co for designing our "Stand With Our Neighbors" bandanas and beautifully incorporating themes of community, dignity, and solidarity into the artwork. We are honored to wear them!

Please support their work by following .co and checking out houndstoothusa.com.

Thank you for helping us build a community where immigrant neighbors know they do not stand alone.

05/29/2026

A society should be judged by how it treats the people with the least power, the least resources, and the fewest voices in the room.

For many immigrant families, detention becomes an ongoing financial, emotional, and psychological burden carried by entire households. Staying connected to a loved one often requires money for phone calls, messages, commissary accounts, and legal representation.

At Moshannon Valley Detention Center, ICE's largest detention facility in the Northeast, some people spend days in detention while others spend months or even years waiting for their cases to move forward. In many cases, access to due process is deeply influenced by access to resources. The ability to hire a lawyer, gather documentation, communicate with loved ones, understand a complex legal system, and advocate for yourself can dramatically affect what happens next.

Our immigrant neighbors deserve due process, humane treatment, meaningful access to legal support, and the opportunity to pursue a better life without having their humanity diminished in the process.
