The Revere Human Rights Commission on Nov. 6 reviewed a draft public statement and resource list prepared with the city solicitor’s office responding to a nationwide U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation described in the draft as affecting unaccompanied immigrant children and youth.

Chair Hosseini said Director Morabito and the solicitor’s office helped draft the statement and asked commissioners for edits before releasing it as an informational resource for the city’s immigrant communities. The draft, as described at the meeting, said the operation (identified in the draft as an operation launched Oct. 3 and referred to in discussion as “Freaky Friday”) offers funds to some children and warns of enforcement actions for certain noncompliance. The draft also listed legal and community support contacts, which the commission discussed expanding.

Commissioners and guests suggested adding concrete resources. Chief Maria LaVita told the commission, “ICE has an online detainee locator system,” and offered to provide the locator’s web address for inclusion in the statement. Dr. Alex Garcia recommended adding the organization MITRA, saying they “also offer legal services.”

The commission did not adopt a formal vote on the text at the meeting. Instead, Hosseini said any edits the commission proposes will be provided to the solicitor’s office to ensure factual accuracy and neutrality before the statement is posted publicly. Commissioners emphasized that the document is intended as an informational resource listing where residents can seek legal help or support.

Discussion distinguished between the commission’s informational role and legal processes: the statement is planned as a resource compendium rather than a legal or enforcement action. No timetable for publication was finalized at the meeting.
