Mission and programs · 2025

Primary exempt purpose

Visit and support people detained by ICE in Minnesota.

  • We made deposits to the commissary accounts of people detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), primarily in Minnesota county jails, so they could call their families and/or purchase supplemental food or hygiene items.The total number of people served in 2025 was about 948.

    Expenses $77,443

  • We provided Dignity backpacks for 285 of the 948 people served. They are filled with the clothing requested by people being deported by ICE, and also include hygiene and other items, thus helping them arrive in their birth countries with dignity.

    Expenses $40,192

  • "Safe release and accompaniment" program expenses. We picked up 8 people who were released from ICE custody and provided a Dignity backpack, food and/or a bus ticket so they could arrive safely at their destinations in the U.S.

    Expenses $1,671

  • Other program services: books, and occasionally puzzles and games, were sent to people detained by ICE in Minnesota.

    Expenses $4,000
