ICE OUT of OUR MA COURTS

In-person, Fri. Mar 20, 3:30 pm Waltham District Court

We hope you consider joining us in Waltham this Friday for our “ICE OUT OF OUR MA COURTS” rally. This rally will be held with other cities (see below) across the state in conjunction with the LUCE network and will start at 3:30pm at the Waltham Courthouse!

Our state’s public institutions are being used as deportation traps. The current federally mandated campaign of terror levied against immigrants, and those racially profiled as “immigrant,” puts us all in danger.

Concerned community members have witnessed escalating numbers of violent ICE arrests at MA courts alongside the complicity of court officials, staff, security, and local police officers. Many poor, Black, brown and other marginalized ethnic immigrant community members are over-policed and over-surveilled, thereby representing a disproportionate share of individuals summoned to court for criminal proceedings. They are additionally being singled out by federal enforcement actions unrelated to their reasons for being in our state courts.
