U.S. Rep. Dan Goldman invited immigrant rights advocate Father Fabian Arias to attend President Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday night after the pastor had spent much of the last year fighting against the ongoing immigration crackdown in the Big Apple.
Arias, along with his dedicated colleague Peter Melck Kuttel, have created what they refer to as a triage unit for non-criminal immigrants impacted by ICE operations. The effort is based out of Goldman’s Lower Manhattan office at 290 Broadway, just across the street from 26 Federal Plaza, which has become ground zero for ICE operations in New York.
