ICE has gone too far - It's time for lawmakers to take action.
We are calling on elected officials to pass reforms to address ICE's unaccountable actions:
❌DON'T assist ICE.
❌DON'T turn police into ICE agents.
✅DO fund legal help to fight deportations.

Tell Massachusetts lawmakers: Pass reforms to protect Massachusetts communities from ICE's abuse!
Cooperating with ICE only empowers agents to stoke fear in our communities. Ask lawmakers to pass these simple reforms to ensure Massachusetts is not complicit in ICE's dirty work.

This has gotten lost in all the Epstein drama: none of this would be as drawn out and long if we believed survivors.
Trump is an abuser and a liar. While none of this is news, this latest example is.
And I’m going to keep shouting this from the rooftops: believe survivors. If we had believed the survivors we would not need to receive this news now. We would not be in this moment right now.
