Deep Reads: A small town in Massachusetts grapples with a new shelter for immigrants

Update: 2024-09-28

Description

Kevin Roche was recently elected to a small governing board in Norfolk, Mass. He had lived in the small town his whole life. Then Roche received the news Haitian migrants were going to be sheltered in Norfolk.

The state had opened new shelters in towns across Massachusetts, but none so big in a town so small.

This is the story of one town’s reckoning with the national immigration crisis — from inside the auto shop that Kevin operates, to the airport terminal where the migrant families were staying.

The story was written and read by Ruby Cramer. Audio production and original music by Bishop Sand.
