Massachusetts Launches Portal to Report Alleged ICE and CBP Misconduct

Officials say submissions could guide legal action or policy changes.

Overview

  • The state website at mass.gov/fedmisconduct is now live for residents to report incidents involving ICE, CBP, or other civil immigration agents operating in Massachusetts.
  • Users can upload photos and videos, provide detailed accounts, file reports for someone else, and request information on legal resources and support.
  • Attorney General Andrea Campbell released updated guidance for immigrants that adds information on holding federal officers accountable.
  • The move builds on Gov. Maura Healey’s recent steps to limit federal immigration operations, including a judicial-warrant requirement in state facilities, proposed restrictions on ICE in sensitive locations, and a request to Signature Aviation to stop deportation flights from Hanscom Field.
  • State officials say collected reports could reveal patterns for investigation and policy recommendations, and similar reporting tools exist in states such as California and New Jersey.
