    During a panel discussion on immigration enforcement Tuesday night, experts said citizens can also challenge local police departments’ use of security technology from companies like Flock Security, which allows Immigration and Customs Enforcement to access license plate data collected by local law enforcement.

  • Lawmakers urged to ‘opt out’ of federal mandates

    [ad_1]

    The Legislature’s Revenue Committee is considering a proposal by Gov. Maura Healey that would delay implementation of what she described as the five “most costliest” changes in federal tax code created by Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act until next year.

    On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued new regulations that would once finalized, restrict the use of puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgical interventions for transgender children.

  • Markey blasts ‘inadequate’ conditions at ICE facility

    [ad_1]

    BOSTON — Sen. Ed Markey is renewing criticism of federal authorities for “inhumane” conditions at a Burlington ICE facility where people detained on immigration violations are held before being transferred to other locations.

    In a letter to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Boston acting Field Office Director David Wesling, Markey said after a meeting with him and other officials Dec. 11 he “continues to be alarmed by the allegations of overcrowding and inadequate conditions” at the Burlington facility, “as well as by ICE’s arrest dragnet.”

  • Moulton bill would allow ICE lawsuits

    [ad_1]

    BOSTON — Immigrants would be allowed to sue federal authorities for “misconduct” under a proposal filed Monday by U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton, which the Democrat named ostensibly after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

    The National Oversight and Enforcement of Misconduct Act, or NOEM Act, as filed Monday would update federal law to allow people “under federal immigration enforcement authority” to file lawsuits if they believe their “constitutional rights” have been violated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

  • Federal judge asked to strike down firearm age restrictions

    [ad_1]

    BOSTON — A coalition of gun rights groups are asking a federal judge to strike down Massachusetts’ ban on the sale of handguns to anyone age 18 to 20 in response to a federal appeals court ruling that overturned a federal ban.

    In a filing in U.S. District Court, the Las Vegas-based Firearms Policy Coalition and other groups ask the judge to grant an injunction blocking the state’s age-based prohibitions from being enforced. The groups argue that the 18 to 20 age group is protected by the Second Amendment and that there is “historical tradition” supporting the states restrictions.

  • Healey to Trump: Release LIHEAP fuel assistance

    [ad_1]

    BOSTON — Gov. Maura Healey is joining a chorus demanding the Trump administration release federal dollars aimed at helping low-income people heat their homes with winter fast approaching.

    On Thursday, Healey blasted President Donald Trump for delays in distributing Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program funding, which comes even after the federal government reopened last week following a 43-day shutdown. The Democrat said the Trump administration has said it will not release LIHEAP money to states until the end of the month.

  • AGs reach deal with DOE on education funding

    [ad_1]

    BOSTON — The Trump administration has agreed to release $1.1 billion in funding for post-COVID-19 pandemic academic recovery it clawed back from Massachusetts and other states before the move was challenged in federal court.

  • Indiana businesses: ICE raids, immigration enforcement make it harder to find workers

    [ad_1]

    FORT BRANCH — Steve Obert felt deep concern in June watching reports of ICE agents raiding a New Mexico dairy farm. Officers arrested 11 immigrant workers who, authorities say, misused documents such as counterfeit green cards.

    With half its staff gone, the farm scrambled to milk and care for the cows, threatening the survival of both the operation and the animals.

  • Indiana businesses: ICE raids, immigration enforcement make it harder to find workers

    [ad_1]

    FORT BRANCH — Steve Obert felt deep concern in June watching reports of ICE agents raiding a New Mexico dairy farm. Officers arrested 11 immigrant workers who, authorities say, misused documents such as counterfeit green cards.

    With half its staff gone, the farm scrambled to milk and care for the cows, threatening the survival of both the operation and the animals.

  • Shapiro slams Trump, Vance over SNAP freeze, calls VP a ‘phony’

    [ad_1]

    PHILADELPHIA — Full SNAP benefits payments were flowing Friday to Pennsylvanians who were due at the start of November, Gov. Josh Shapiro announced while ripping into President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, who he accused of acting purposefully to “keep people hungry.”

    “Folks got to wake up and realize the people who are leading in America quite literally want to keep people hungry. And, you’ll excuse me for getting emotional about it, but when I see people in my state who are hungry because of JD Vance’s bull—- politics, that makes me angry and that’s why I went to court,” Shapiro said. “America deserves better than JD Vance.”

  • Shapiro slams Trump, Vance over SNAP freeze, calls VP a ‘phony’

    [ad_1]

    PHILADELPHIA — Full SNAP benefits payments were flowing Friday to Pennsylvanians who were due at the start of November, Gov. Josh Shapiro announced while ripping into President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, who he accused of acting purposefully to “keep people hungry.”

    “Folks got to wake up and realize the people who are leading in America quite literally want to keep people hungry. And, you’ll excuse me for getting emotional about it, but when I see people in my state who are hungry because of JD Vance’s bull—- politics, that makes me angry and that’s why I went to court,” Shapiro said. “America deserves better than JD Vance.”

  • Senate to take up book ban restrictions

    [ad_1]

    BOSTON — The state Senate is poised to approve a plan to restrict efforts to ban books from public libraries and schools in response to a rise in challenges from parents and conservative groups.

    The “free expression” legislation, which cleared the Senate Ways and Means Committee on Thursday with bipartisan support, would make Massachusetts one of a handful of states to effectively outlaw book bans because of “personal, political or doctrinal” views by setting new restrictions on receiving state funding.
