We must disentangle state and local law enforcement from ICE. With a federal government attempting to criminalize dissent, we need to shore up privacy rights and combat new aggressive and invasive forms of surveillance. That's why we need Beacon Hill to pass the Safe Communities Act, the Dignity Not Deportations Act, and the Location Shield Act. The Safe Communities Act would end the voluntary involvement of our public safety officials in civil immigration matters. The Dignity Not Deportations Act would prohibit sheriffs from voluntarily renting beds to ICE and ban agreements to deputize state and local law enforcement to ICE. The Location Shield Act would prohibit companies from selling, leasing, trading, or renting location data. Your privacy should not be for sale, and your location is your business. As your constituent, can I count on you to be on the right side of history?
