Massachusetts immigration legislation

Overview

Governor Maura Healey signed the PROTECT Act (H.5620) into law in Massachusetts, which restricts U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from conducting warrantless civil arrests at various state facilities, including schools, hospitals, and courthouses.

The legislation also establishes a three-year statewide commission on immigration, accelerates U and T visa certification timelines, and allows undocumented parents to pre-arrange legal guardianship for their children. While the Governor described the measure as the “strongest law in the country” to protect residents, the Department of Homeland Security condemned the act, stating it “endangers public safety and releases violent criminals back into communities.”
