As one of your constituents I'm writing to demand immediate action in response to the recent ICE abductions. Our communities are being terrorized, and th e state is failing to protect us from co-ordinated federal violence. This violates state values and basic human rights. DEMANDS: File a legal challenge against ICE's abuses AG Andrea Campbell must file an emergency lawsu it blocking ICE's unlawful detentions under state kidnapping laws (M.G.L. c. 266 8 26) t with impunity within the state. Declare a Rogue Agency Massachusetts must recognize ICE as a lawless entity violating state protections and declare that it has no legal authority to ac Enforce Legal Consquences For Unauthorized Detention Federal agents who detain or harass residents without a lawful warrant or state cooperation must fa ce investigation and prosecution under state law End State Cooperation With ICE - Cancel the 287(g) agreement with the Department of Corrections - End all Intergovernmental Service Agreements with ICE and DHS Establish a Statewide Sanctuary and Defense Fund Expand funding for legal defense and aid for those targeted by ICE, especially when detained without du e process Choose: stand with the people, or stand aside while they are taken. Supporting these policies makes you complicit. Remaining silent makes you complicit . I look forward to your public statement on this matter.
