"The portal is explicitly for reporting potentially unlawful activity and misconduct by federal agents enforcing immigration law. This could include ICE agents, as well as those from Customs and Border Protection and others working to enact President Donald Trump's mass deportation campaign. Submissions may help officials identify patterns of potential misconduct and "inform possible legal action or policy recommendations.""
"The portal allows for people to submit reports for themselves or for another person. Users are asked to provide a written explanation of the incident in question, as well as location details. They can upload photos and videos, and ask for more information about legal resources and other support systems."
""The core duty of law enforcement, including federal law enforcement, is to keep our communities safe. But what we have seen from ICE in recent months across the country is the opposite: aggressive and reckless tactics that spread fear and chaos in our communities," Campbell said in a statement."
Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey and Attorney General Andrea Campbell announced a new online reporting portal for residents to document alleged misconduct by ICE officers and other federal immigration enforcement agents operating in the state. The portal accepts photos, videos, and written reports detailing potentially unlawful activity. Submissions can help officials identify patterns of misconduct and inform legal action or policy recommendations. Users can report incidents for themselves or others, providing written explanations, location details, and multimedia evidence. The portal also connects users with legal resources and support systems. Simultaneously, Campbell's office released an updated "know your rights" guide for immigrants explaining legal frameworks surrounding ICE arrests and how to hold federal immigration officials accountable.
