Some local police, sheriff and DA offices are communicating often with ICE, records show In one instance, a sheriff's office sent an entire list of sentenced individuals just 12 minutes after ICE requested the information.

"Stephen Majeski, a deportation officer with ICE’s enforcement and removal operations, requested a 'list of all sentenced inmates in the facility.' ... 12 minutes later, Elizabeth Conley, chief administrative assistant at Suffolk County sheriff’s office, provided the list in an attachment."

It's time to pass the Safe Communities Act. It's time to increase our commitment to renewable energy. It's time to build more housing. It's time to create new protections for our neighbors, defending all of our rights from a hostile federal government.

The issues I work on as a city councilor in Somerville are the same throughout our Commonwealth: housing, climate change, threats and intimidation from our federal government, an overall affordability crisis that prices out too many of our residents.

On Tuesday we joined Michele Lippens at Faulkner Towers and on Wednesday we joined Jesse Ratey at Properzi Manor! It was great to talk with both Ward 3 School Committee candidates about the needs of our students and to hear from our seniors.
