Massachusetts Passes Historic Immigrant Protection Law | Boston News

Massachusetts just enacted the nation’s strongest immigrant protection law, the PROTECT Act, banning ICE arrests without warrants in courthouses, schools, and hospitals—directly responding to rising enforcement fears. Signed by the governor amid calls to rein in ICE’s tactics, the law offers real safety for immigrants and families living in terror of detention. Stories from teens whose loved ones were detained highlight how this legislation could’ve changed lives—and how many now feel a literal weight lifted. Communities already feel the impact: schools lost staff as students vanished out of fear. And the governor isn’t stopping there—she’s also condemning ICE’s plan to rent downtown Boston parking spots, calling it an unacceptable move while using illegal tactics.
