CHELSEA — As she prepares to sign into law the strongest protections in the nation against abuses by ICE, Governor Maura Healey is responding to reports that ICE is seeking 250 parking spots in downtown Boston:
“We see what ICE is doing to our communities every day. People are afraid to go to school, doctors' appointments, court or even church. ICE is shooting people dead, separating families, and making us all less safe. That’s why I’m about to sign the strongest protections in the country against their abuses.
“We absolutely cannot allow ICE to have 250 parking spots in downtown Boston while they are engaging in these illegal tactics. We cannot enable them to ramp up even further in Massachusetts.”
