Thank you, Governor Healey, for your work to protect our students and families from abuses by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
We were proud to join a press conference yesterday, where the Governor announced she has filed legislation to keep ICE out of schools, child care programs, courthouses, hospitals, and churches.
