WCVB • • nation
Key Points:
- Protesters gathered in Boston for two consecutive days to oppose the Trump administration's immigration enforcement actions in Minneapolis, holding rallies near the State House and Boston Public Library.
- Attendees carried signs with messages supporting immigrants and opposing ICE, while local businesses showed solidarity by closing or displaying protest signs.
- Governor Maura Healey proposed legislation and issued an executive order to limit immigration enforcement in Massachusetts, including barring warrantless civil arrests by ICE in sensitive locations such as schools and hospitals.
- The executive order also restricts new agreements between state or local agencies and ICE unless there is a certified public safety need, bans civil ICE arrests in nonpublic state facilities without a judicial warrant, and prohibits using state property for immigration enforcement staging.
