The Trump administration is buying up warehouses across the country to expand its detention and deportation regime while planning for more militarized surges in major US cities. The threat is escalating. This resource breaks down what we’re demanding, how communities are fighting back, and how you can get trained to respond when ICE comes to your community.

When ICE comes to your community, do you know what to do? This summer, Indivisible is giving you a blueprint. Immigrant Justice Summer is a five-call national training series that will level up how you show up for immigrant justice. You’ll get aligned with the organizations already leading the response in your community, build a concrete plan for your role, and grow your circle of neighbors ready to act. By the end, you’ll be equipped to mount a safe, hyper-local, immigrant-aligned response when ICE comes to your community.

Immigrant justice means ensuring that all immigrants, regardless of status, are treated with dignity, protected by due process and human rights, and able to live without fear of discrimination, detention, or family separation. Communities are stronger, and benefit when everyone can live safely and with opportunity.

Massachusetts is increasingly affected by expanded ICE enforcement, including heightened activity across the state, renewed deportation flights from Hanscom and other regional airports, and the growth of immigration detention nationwide. Reports of overcrowding, inadequate medical care, poor sanitation, limited legal access, and the detention of vulnerable people at the Burlington ICE Field Office underscore the need for stronger congressional oversight.

The Indivisible Mass Coalition has developed a toolkit for calling on Members of Congress to coordinate oversight visits to the Burlington facility, thoroughly inspect conditions, and publicly report their findings. We want to ensure that oversight is persistent, credible, and difficult to evade, rather than limited to isolated or tightly managed visits, and that the public is made aware of the findings of oversight visits.

Join the Indivisible Mass Coalition Immigration Justice Action Team (IJAT) for their monthly Virtual Public Forum, featuring Joshua Dankoff, Director of Strategic Initiatives at Citizens for Juvenile Justice (CFJJ), and Laura Rotolo, Staff Attorney at the ACLU of Massachusetts.

Together, they’ll discuss the findings of the ICE Out Report, the proposed Massachusetts PROTECT Act, and practical strategies for establishing clear legal and policy boundaries between ICE and local law enforcement.

Learn how communities across Massachusetts are working to protect civil rights, strengthen public trust, and ensure that local government resources are not used to support federal civil immigration enforcement.

We are asking state pension fund officials to engage their investment managers and demand answers. Signature refused to service ICE flights at Boeing Field in 2019 — documented in sworn federal testimony — and faced no legal consequences. The company’s claim that it has no choice is contradicted by its own past conduct. Pension trustees have a fiduciary duty to ask hard questions when a portfolio holding carries material reputational and ESG risk.

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.
