Massachusetts lawmakers are rallying to protect immigrants from warrantless federal arrests, particularly at courthouses, amid President Trumps immigration crackdowns. Two bills, one from Governor Maura Healey and another from the Black and Latino Legislative Caucus, are gaining momentum. Recent raids have sparked concern over immigrants avoiding courthouses, impacting crime reporting and access to justice. The main proposal aims to prevent agents from making arrests at courthouses or while traveling to court without a judges warrant. Senate leaders also propose extending bans to other public places like hospitals, schools, and polling spots. Lawmakers plan to pass Healeys bill and consider additional measures, such as allowing lawsuits against violating agents and providing notice before workplace checks.
