I was proud to convene this urgent and timely discussion about how we can push back against this harmful agenda, uplift impacted families, and share resources. And I am grateful to our advocates, families, and local partners for joining us.
Together, we say: Hands off our immigrant neighbors.

We stand with our immigrant neighbors. Children should not live in fear of their parents disappearing. And elders should not live in fear of going to the grocery store or their faith house.

Donald Trump is a dictator who wants a citizenry that is inactive and indifferent to the suffering of their neighbors, including our immigrant families in the Massachusetts 7th. But we will not stand by while he and ICE carry out their unlawful mass deportation agenda and rip our families apart.

They are absolutely shameful and in many cases, unlawful and in violation of folks' constitutional rights.

These horrific raids have never been about "safety" or "law and order," as the Trump Administration claims — they have always been about terrorizing immigrant families, abusing power, and sowing fear in our communities.

Santo was shipped off to a detention center in Louisiana, where he has struggled to control his diabetes and hypertension, and has reported that the medical staff and officers make fun of him because of his English and have failed to properly treat his conditions.

And we heard from Yolanda, a Randolph resident, whose husband Santo was taken through the back exit of a police precinct and handed off to ICE officers, but not before he was mocked by the officers on duty and told to "go meet his new family."

"We are deeply traumatized," she told us. "My husband and I can't sleep. I'm afraid to go out. I'm afraid to take my daughter to school. Our 12-year-old daughter who was born in this country has anxiety attacks."

We also heard from Mercedes from East Boston, whose family is struggling after her husband Jose was arrested at work & detained for 2 days at an ICE facility in Burlington. Jose was living here legally with TPS but was told by the ICE agents who detained him that "only people born here have rights."

"We are devastated. No one should live through this," Kenia said. "He needs to come home."

We heard from Kenia from Chelsea, who was driving to a Mother's Day church service with her husband Daniel when ICE agents in unmarked vehicles ambushed them, broke the passenger window, forcefully extracted Daniel from the car, & slammed his face on the sidewalk while their three children watched.

All across the Massachusetts 7th, ICE raids have robbed us of family members and our collective sense of security and belonging.
And the stories we heard were harrowing.

The Senate must reject these devastating cuts and protect our families.

In her words, “Medicaid is fundamental to children’s health & incredibly important for the babies in our state & district.”
This essential program has helped us reduce maternal mortality, improve access to healthcare for our most vulnerable, & give families with premature babies a fighting chance.

In Massachusetts, Medicaid covers 39% of all children and pays for 32% of all births. The drastic cuts to Medicaid under Trump and Republicans’ bill would undermine Dr. Evans and her colleagues' ability to care for these infants and leave them ill-served.

For Dr. Evans, these cuts would harm the patients she cares for, their families, and create large disruptions in finances for hospitals like hers that care for critically ill newborns.
“My patients deserve a well-funded Medicaid program,” she said.
