We are continuing to put pressure on Boston Dynamics to not sell robo dogs to ICE. Now being modified by CT RADeCO to be even more intimidating, These companies must be taken to task as enablers of ICE’s inhumane activities.’
Boston Dynamics has sold 4 robot-dogs to ICE – we demand that the state rescind the $25 million economic development tax credit it gave to Boston Dynamics, which will come out of the pockets of all Massachusetts taxpayers.
The robot dogs can spy on innocent people, knock down doors, and even attack people by delivering toxic irritants.
Boston Dynamics has typically been a “good corporate citizen,” and its plans to expand in Waltham reflect a commitment to the city and the state. But ICE has shown itself to be a rogue force and a threat to immigrants, legal residents and US citizens. Boston Dynamics’ vision statement states, “We see a world where robotics drives global progress, makes work safer, strengthens economies, and expands human potential.”
Amplifying ICE’s capacity to attack innocent people, violate civil rights and destroy families does not expand human potential.
Although ICE claims to target only “the worst of the worst,” ICE’s own data show that only about 3% of detainees have been convicted of a serious crime. Nevertheless, ICE persists in violating civil rights by detaining US citizens (including children), refusing to abide by court orders, and using unnecessary physical force resulting in injuries and fatalities throughout US communities. Most alarmingly, they violate the law with complete impunity. The murderers of Renee Nicole Good, Alex Pretti and Ruben Ray Martinez have not even been indicted.
Massachusetts has already made it clear that immigrants are a critical part of our community, and that we will take whatever steps we can to protect immigrants and limit ICE activity here. Passage of the PROTECT Act in August of 2026 demonstrated the state’s commitment to civil rights for all its residents.
That’s why, if Boston Dynamics goes ahead with its a planned sale of its robot dogs to ICE, we support nonviolent protests against them; and we ask Massachusetts to rescind its award of a $25 million economic development tax credit. We cannot claim to protect our residents while at the same time we provide a subsidy to create weapons used against them.

Do you wonder how ICE transports detainees from New England to ICE prisons in other states? Do you know where they fly from, which airlines are involved, and which corporations support the mass deportation infrastructure? Come find out what is happening in your backyard, who is enabling it and what you can do about it.
This action will be a combined tour and protest. After an informational pre-tour talk, we will take MBTA bus #76 from Lexington to Hanscom Field and back. On the bus, we will hold signs in the windows calling out Signature Aviation for its role in mass deportations. At Hanscom Field, we will stay on the bus and observe the airfield and Signature Aviation’s significant presence.
The pre-tour talk will be illustrated by photos taken by ICE flight trackers. All participants will be invited to join a public pressure campaign to stop Signature Aviation from servicing ICE flights, as well as other actions you can take to protect your neighbors.

ICE violence isn’t just happening on our streets and inside detention camps. It’s happening in our skies too.
ICE Air is the network of deportation and domestic trafficking flights that happen every day across our country. In June 2026, an average of 63 ICE flights took off every single day.
Every single ICE flight violates basic safety standards and puts everyone on board at risk. Not only is ICE intentionally trafficking people across the country to separate them from their attorneys, families, and friendlier courts, but they are also doing so with no regard for the value of human life. It just takes one ICE flight to go wrong for a mass casualty event to take place.
Every private airline and fixed-base-operator (FBO) that contracts with ICE is responsible and should be accountable!
Add your name today to automatically send an email to 40 executives at some of the top companies responsible for ICE Air cruelty. Your letter will be sent to executives at GlobalX Airlines, Eastern Air Express, CSI Aviation, Omni Air, Key Lime Air, Journey Air, as well as FBOs such as Atlantic Aviation, Signature Aviation, and Millionair — just to name a few.
These executives are profiting off of human trafficking above our very heads. Let’s make sure they know that they can’t hide from transparency.

Subject: Do you trust ICE not to violate your company’s ethics principles?
Suggested Message:
Dear Ms. McMasters,
I was distressed to learn of the plan for US Immigrations and Enforcement (ICE) to enter into a contract with Boston Dynamics for the purchase of the company’s Spot Robot Dogs.
Your website states that you “strive to create a future in which humans and machines work together to improve everyone’s safety, productivity and quality of life,” and that the robots must work “in service of human needs.” Government use of robots, you note, must not involve “violation of privacy and civil rights laws.”
Yet ICE has repeatedly demonstrated that it is incapable of acting in a manner consistent with these principles in its use of violence, in targeting individuals exercising their Constitutional rights, and in resisting all efforts to be held accountable for its actions.
ICE may claim their interest in Spot is for purely defensive purposes, but your company should note what ICE calls a defensive action. For example, ICE agents have claimed self-defense when they have shot at people in vehicles, despite video evidence that the agents were never in harm’s way. In July, a New York Times investigation found that nearly half of 400-plus resolved assault cases brought against protesters and immigrants unraveled, often because agents were found to have initiated force. It is frightening to consider how far a rogue agency like ICE can go when provided with powerful technology.Bottom line: Boston Dynamics should not want to be associated with an agency that is tearing communities apart with seemingly little concern for civil rights and human decency. Please reconsider the contract and join the growing number of companies that are choosing to stand by their own principles and on the right side of history.

The Metrowest Worker Center (“Casa”) needs to raise immediate funds for direct support to immigrant families affected by workplace injury / unjust labor practices, ongoing housing, legal and other crises including the recent wave of ICE aggression in our communities.
Families have been torn apart and community systems de-stabilized by these recent immigration sweeps leading to the aggressive detention and incarceration of individuals who not only serve as family breadwinners, but also as community pillars. Their challenges–including cruel detention by federal authorities–translate to costly legal expenses, housing and food insecurity, children losing parents, medical and transportation challenges, as well as the need for emotional comfort and mental health support.
Your generous donations will go directly to families & individuals* requiring:
*Funds go directly into the community in the form of mutual aid checks and life giving goods & services, and not towards Casa’s general operating costs.
Please donate now as the needs are both deep and urgent. And please know, your support is immensely appreciated 🙏
The De-ICE Hanscom Coalition’s team of Habeas Flight Verifiers has documented 114 ICE flights from Hanscom Field since October 7, 2025. By counting the SUVs, vans, and buses used to transport detainees, they estimate that between 2,221 and 4,310 New England residents have passed through Hanscom Field on these flights.
Many of these people have no criminal record and have had no bond hearing or access to legal counsel. Hanscom Field is owned and operated by Massport. The coalition is asking Massport to install a publicly viewable webcam system so that lawyers can identify their clients and families can locate their loved ones.
A similar system has monitored ICE flights at King County Airport in Seattle since 2023, providing a strong precedent for this request. We urge you to write postcards to Governor Healey and the Massport board demanding webcams for ICE flights at Hanscom.
We are asking each person to write 8 postcards, one to each member of the Massport board. You are welcome to download and print the postcard design, addresses, and scripts for your next group meeting or stop by our Friday standout to purchase packets. Cards are $5 per packet, each containing stamps, short scripts, and address labels for 6 or 8 cards.

(*Note* Each address is here multiple times. It’s also fine to address cards by hand.)
