An Act to protect the civil rights and safety of all Massachusetts residents

Summary

The Safe Communities Act would stop state, local, campus and other law‑enforcement agencies from asking anyone about their immigration status unless a law specifically requires it, and would make any immigration‑related interview by DHS agents dependent on a written, informed consent form. It also bars correctional and police officers from acting as immigration officers, sets training and reporting rules, and creates a complaint process to enforce the new protections.
