Folks in Boston and the #MA7 are facing threats of immigration raids from the Trump Administration that do nothing keep our communities safe. My team and I are here as a resource and stand with our immigrant neighbors. Please share. #KnowYourRights
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IF CONFRONTED BY POLICE OR IMMIGRATION AGENTS
STEPS TO TAKE IN THE EVENT OF IMMIGRATION RAIDS Gather all your important documents Let a trusted family member know where to find them Talk with your family about what to do if you or someone in the family is detained by ICE Give your child’s school a list of trusted adults who can pick up your child if you are detained by ICE Consult with an immigration attorney
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF ICE COMES TO YOUR DOOR? Don’t open the door without a valid warrant signed by a judge Remain silent! You have the right to not speak Ensure everyone in the home remains calm and don’t attempt to interfere with an ICE officer Don’t sign anything without speaking to an attorney Call your attorney or seek legal help at (617) 988-0606
WHAT HAPPENS IF ICE COMES TO YOUR WORK? Don’t provide false documents and don’t carry them with you Don’t attempt to interfere with an ICE officer Tell them you’d like to speak to your attorney and don’t sign anything without speaking to one Keep important phone numbers with you If ICE detains you while at work and you have children at home, make sure you inform ICE

Virginia Giuffre should be alive today. She died of suicide after decades of institutional failure & betrayal by our government. Accountability for survivors of Epstein’s abuse is a matter of life & death. And we must release all the Epstein files NOW.

Trump's layoffs of federal workers have hit Black women the hardest. A shameful red flag for our economy & evidence of his coordinated assault on Black women in govt. We must reinstate these workers immediately so they can continue serving our communities. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/31/n...

Our veterans have sacrificed everything for our country. We owe it to them to provide the services they need, including abortion care. I’m joining my @reprocaucus.bsky.social & @demwomencaucus.bsky.social colleagues in demanding Trump roll back his cruel attacks on healthcare for veterans.

Trump's mass layoffs and attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion are pushing Black women out of the workforce. He is shamefully harming our economy by causing it to lose the wealth of knowledge, innovation, & skills that Black women contribute.

The unemployment rate for Black women rose sharply in August, partly a result of Trump's cuts to the federal workforce.

Survivors of Epstein’s abuse deserve transparency, accountability, & healing. That’s why I signed a discharge petition to force a vote on the House floor to release all the files. And we won’t stop our push for a full, public Congressional hearing to ensure survivors are heard.

The Trump Admin’s silence to the famine crisis in Gaza is unacceptable & deadly. The US has a moral obligation to ensure that drastic surges in aid enter Gaza. Secretary Rubio must heed our call & press the Israeli government to ensure infant formula reaches every baby who needs it.

Boston is a safe, vibrant & welcoming city. We will not be intimidated by this Admin's illegal scare tactics & we will not back down as they continue terrorizing our communities. I'm glad we have a clear & steady Mayor at the helm. My full statement on Trump's baseless lawsuit against Boston:
“Boston is a safe, vibrant, and welcoming city. We will not be intimidated by this administration’s illegal scare tactics, and we will not back down as they continue terrorizing our communities,” said Congresswoman Pressley. “Nothing the Trump Administration has done since taking office has been about public safety. From the militarization of our cities, to abducting our neighbors off the street, to sham, baseless lawsuits like this one—it has always been about sowing fear, punishing dissent, and tearing apart hardworking immigrant families. In Boston, we take care of our neighbors, and we do not back down. I am glad we have a clear and steady Mayor at the helm who is working with community leaders and peace advocates to mitigate trauma and protect everyone who calls Boston home.”

Releasing the Epstein files isn’t just politics. It’s about truth, accountability and justice for survivors of human trafficking and sexual assault. Thank you @pressley.house.gov for making sure the voices of survivors remain at the center of this fight.

Today, we heard harrowing stories from survivors of Epstein's abuse. Epstein is dead, but the hurt & harm he caused is alive and well. We'll keep pushing for accountability, including a public Congressional hearing with survivors and the release of the full Epstein files.

With Trump and RFK Jr. pushing a reckless, anti-science vaccine agenda, I'm grateful for @massgovernor.bsky.social's proactive leadership in keeping our communities safe. This essential action will save lives. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/03/m...

Secretary Kennedy's dangerous vaccine rollbacks and dismantling of our public health systems is putting lives at risk. He has no business serving as HHS Secretary and must resign or be fired immediately. abcnews.link/I0G51DF

Survivors everywhere deserve accountability — from those who shared their truths of Epstein's abuse, to those who joined in solidarity today. I see you & I'm proud to stand with you. Together, we'll keep pushing for a Congressional hearing & the release of the full Epstein files.

If we are to hold powerful abusers to account, we must center the voices of survivors. Today, I’ll be joining @oversightdemocrats.house.gov meeting with survivors of Epstein’s abuse. And I'll keep pushing for a full Congressional hearing and the healing, accountability & transparency they deserve.

UPDATE: House Oversight is convening a private roundtable with survivors of Epstein’s abuse. This is a testament to our pressure. I look forward to hearing from survivors & won't stop pushing for a full, public hearing so their stories are documented in the Congressional Record.
After Pressure from Pressley, Oversight Committee to Convene Closed-Door Roundtable with Survivors of Epstein’s Abuse (1/2) “If we are to hold powerful abusers to account, we must center the voices they tried to silence. This upcoming roundtable is a step toward the healing, accountability, and transparency survivors deserve. To the survivors who are stepping forward to share their stories and to those who continue to hold their stories close: thank you for your strength. I see you, your experiences are real, and I am so sorry for what you went through.”
After Pressure from Pressley, Oversight Committee to Convene Closed-Door Roundtable with Survivors of Epstein’s Abuse (2/2) “I strongly encourage all of my Oversight colleagues to join this roundtable and provide the survivors the space to share their stories and be heard with the respect and dignity they deserve. But justice delayed is justice denied. I continue to demand a full and public Congressional hearing to ensure their testimony is documented in the Congressional Record and shared transparently with the public. And as the Oversight Committee continues its investigation, I continue to demand the release of the full, unredacted Epstein files with the names of survivors protected.”
