It's just off Route 3 South of Boston near the Cape: Plymouth County Correctional Facility (Google Maps link).

And the "Feedback and Complaints" tab on the ICE site lists a Burlington, MA address.

If you feel that an ICE employee or contract services employee mistreated you and wish to make a complaint of misconduct, you may: Contact the Field Office Director at: Field Office Director, Enforcement and Removal Operations U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement 1000 District Avenue Burlington, MA 01803 (781) 359-7500

Are folks aware of any ongoing efforts to protest or close these sites? There's an account of successfully closing a detention center in PA.

I've been in EMS for 38 years. I've been certified in MA for 36.

Technology has been available for DECADES to track every single ambulance operating on the road.

We don't need shitty groups to gather and discuss multiple levels of BS which will certainly boil down to $$$.

BTW: this same exact state wide GPS tracking of every ambulance within a state boundaries should be implemented nationally.

Healy, Markey, Warren, all of them doing nothing to stop people being abducted. No orders to stop ICE, no arrests, assurances the cops stand with the community but they're helping ICE at every turn.

Traitors the lot of them, they're willing to sacrifice the most vulnerable to hold up this fantasy that some miracle will save them from having to actually hold anyone accountable. It's shameful and they should be ashamed but hey they don't seem to be capable.

Abducted that mother, arrested her daughter, no consequences will come of it. Cowards all of them, Mayor Wu too she's awfully quiet after talking shit to Trump because all they have is talk, just letting Trump do what he wants with no real pushback.

Oh yeah they got the Tufts student possibly released great, her kidnappers are still free to do as they please and will continue to be. It's a fucking joke

I haven't seen this posted here yet, so just wanted to pass it along. If you're outraged by the abduction of Rumeysa Ozturk from Somerville, or have just had enough of this administration in general, next weekend is a good chance to show it. Senator Markey is gonna talk there, along with a lot of other people. Come out to Boston, and let's stand up and speak out together. People need to see resistance.

Ozturk was sent to Louisiana even after U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani ordered Ozturk to remain in the state and that the government give 48 hours’ notice before moving her.

“Over twenty-four hours after her arrest, Rumeysa has yet to be processed to her final detention facility and during this entire time, I have been unable to speak with my client,” Ozturk’s attorney, Mahsa Khanbabai, said in a statement Wednesday evening. 

The timing for when she was sent to Louisiana is not clear, but a judge ordered Tuesday night that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) not remove Ozturk from Massachusetts without prior notice.

President Donald Trump’s “border czar” Tom Homan said Monday that federal agents arrested at least 370 people in and around Boston recently, boasting that he followed through on a promise to “bring hell” to the city.
