ALERT: Charlie Baker just filed a Deportation Bill
Friend --
Today, Charlie Baker filed legislation to allow Massachusetts police to become part of Donald Trump's deportation force. We need to send Charlie Baker the message that this is wrong.
From the tragic detention of MIT employee Francisco Rodriguez and the deportation of former Gaelic Athletic Association in Boston President John Cunningham, to the mumps outbreak in East Boston, the Commonwealth is already seeing the real life outcomes of President Trump's war on immigrants. Communities all over Massachusetts are living in fear that a knock on their door in the middle of the night could mean losing a family member. Our neighborhoods are less safe when people who feel like they have to live in the shadows are afraid to talk to the police when they need help or witness a crime.
Charlie Baker's effort to keep Massachusetts police agencies in the deportation business is a political move, plain and simple. After winning by a historically small margin in 2014, Baker is clearly playing to the ultra-conservative base who he needs to keep in his corner. In this instance, Gov. Baker's naked political ploy will have real, negative consequences for thousands of families in Massachusetts.
Best,
Setti
