FRAMINGHAM — City officials have confirmed that Framingham is the latest Massachusetts municipality to host asylum-seeking refugees, as about 40 of them were moved into the Red Roof lnn on Cochituate Road (Route 30) starting last Friday. The asylum-seekers are ethnically Haitian, although many have come from other countries, including Chile and Brazil, according to state Rep. Priscila Sousa, D-Framingham. Massachusetts has seen a rise in Haitian immigration over the last year due to growing instability and gang violence in the Caribbean country.
