I was proud to stand with Governor Maura Healey today at her press conference announcing strong action to keep ICE out of our communities and across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

I was proud to stand with the Black & Latino Legislative Caucus yesterday in support of HD.5608, the PROTECT Act. This bill protects immigrant communities, safeguards our courts, and ensures due process—so families feel safe seeking help and accessing justice.
