News: Death of immigrant in custody probed

Today the MetroWest Daily News of Framingham quotes Anjali Waikar, our Equal Justice Works Fellow, in its story about the death on Sept. 11, 2007, of a Brazilian immigrant in police custody. Maxsuel Medeiros is the second immigrant living in Massachusetts to die in police custody since July, and his arrest raised new concerns about the role of state police enforcing immigration laws.

Our Human Rights Fellow, Laura Rótolo, also gave an interview about the Medeiros death to WBZ radio.
