As the new Trump Administration begins to roll out its approach to border control and immigration policies, one group on the Mid-Shore is watching closely what those new initiatives might mean to the unique communities they serve is the Chesapeake Multicultural Resource Center based in Easton.
For over 12 years, the organization has been helping immigrants and multicultural communities on the Delmarva by providing legal assistance, education programs, job support, health services, language classes, and community integration resources.
Given that background, the Spy asked its director, Matthew Peters, to come by our Zoom studio for a conversation about what this might mean for the Mid-Shore’s increasingly diverse communities and share some of the organization’s highlights in 2024.

It would have been useful if the topic of ICE / Trump deportations had been discussed. As I understand it a local undocumented person can be arrested and deported quickly. What happens to the families of these people? What happens to the property and businesses they own? Who is there to help these people, some who might have been here for 20 years and have children who are citizens?
We were told that the first priority was to deport violent criminals. That does not seem to be what is happening. Why not discuss this issue?
