Governor Healey Announces Guidance on Interacting With ICE

Published | Video Starts at 20:04

They're afraid to go to pediatrician appointments. They're afraid to go to the hospital when they actually have an emergency condition and need help. They're afraid to go to court.

And that's why I put that in the legislation that I filed. ICE needs to have a judicial warrant if they're going to be acting around courthouses and then schools. (20:04–20:17)
