The Healey administration and Attorney General Andrea Campbell have launched a new state website allowing Massachusetts residents to report alleged misconduct by federal immigration agents.

The online portal, available at mass.gov/fedmisconduct, allows people to submit reports, photographs, and videos involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and other federal agencies involved in civil immigration enforcement.

Governor Maura Healey framed the initiative as part of the state’s broader response to federal immigration enforcement.

“We’ve seen across the country and here in Massachusetts that the tactics of ICE under the Trump Administration have been putting everyone at risk,” Healey said in a press release. “The people of Massachusetts deserve to know that their rights will be respected, their safety protected, and their concerns about misconduct taken seriously.”

The portal allows residents, attorneys, and community members to document encounters involving federal immigration agents. State officials say the reports could be used to identify patterns of misconduct and connect individuals with legal advocacy groups.

State Officials Criticize Federal Immigration Enforcement

Attorney General Campbell also criticized federal immigration enforcement tactics while encouraging residents to report incidents.

“The core duty of law enforcement, including federal law enforcement, is to keep our communities safe,” Campbell said in the reelase. “But what we have seen from ICE in recent months across the country is the opposite: aggressive and reckless tactics that spread fear and chaos in our communities.”

Campbell said the portal will help her office monitor enforcement activity and potentially pursue legal action if misconduct is identified.

Part of Broader Healey Administration Immigration Policies

The portal is one of several actions the Healey administration has taken related to federal immigration enforcement.

Last week, Healey asked Signature Aviation to stop assisting deportation flights departing from Hanscom Field.

Healey has also proposed legislation that would prohibit federal immigration enforcement in certain locations, such as courthouses, schools, hospitals, child care centers, and places of worship.

The governor also signed an executive order earlier this year that requires federal agents to obtain judicial warrants before entering non-public areas of state facilities.

Why the Portal Matters in Massachusetts

Supporters say the reporting system will increase transparency around federal immigration enforcement in Massachusetts.

Critics, however, have argued that similar efforts by state governments could discourage cooperation between federal immigration authorities and local officials.

The portal is now live and accepting reports from residents across the Commonwealth.
