BOSTON – Today, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) issued the following statement on reports of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity in Boston and other municipalities in Massachusetts.

“Boston is a safe and welcoming city. In sharp contrast, the scare tactics, fear, and division coming from this Trump Administration are causing harm and terrorizing elders, children, and families in our community,” said Rep. Ayanna Pressley. “ICE and CBP should immediately share information on any residents detained. This agency’s rogue behavior, performative stunts, and lack of transparency are endangering our neighbors and raises grave concerns that they aren’t operating lawfully or with any accountability. As the Congresswoman for Boston and the Massachusetts 7th, I will always work with our state and local leadership to protect the rights of our immigrant neighbors.”
