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

Summary

The Safe Communities Act would stop state and local police, courts, probation and other law‑enforcement agencies from asking about a person's immigration status unless required by law, and would require a written, informed consent form before any immigration‑related interview. It also bars police and corrections staff from performing immigration‑officer duties, aiming to protect civil rights and keep local policing separate from federal immigration enforcement.
