Since September, 2025, ICE has been operating detention flights out of Hanscom Air Field in Bedford, Massachusetts, which is operated by MassPort. The Hanscom Field Advisory Commission (HFAC), a body composed of citizen representatives from the 5 towns that border the air field, has repeatedly asked MassPort to address community concerns about whether the people being loaded onto these flights have received due process and if the standard regulations on health and safety are being followed, but so far, they have not gotten a productive response from MassPort on these questions. On June 2, the HFAC sent a letter to Governor Healey, asking for her assistance. 

Please add your voice by signing this petition (language below) or writing your own letter to Governor Healey (which can be submitted on a form found on mass.gov.) 

Dear Governor Healey,

This petition is a follow-up to a letter sent June 2 from the Hanscom Field Advisory Committee (HFAC) regarding continued violations of civil rights and lack of transparency in ICE flights through Hanscom field. HFAC has reached out to Massport repeatedly to provide information and take responsibility for these flights, but Massport seems unwilling to take any action. We, the undersigned, urge you to pressure Massport to recognize their role in making sure all operations at Hanscom are safe and follow constitutional law.
