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."
Rep. Ayanna Pressley poses for a photo with Yolanda and her son.
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."
Rep. Ayanna Pressley poses for a photo with Mercedes and her daughter.
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.

Yesterday, while ICE officials smugly touted the arrest of nearly 1,500 people in Massachusetts over the past month, I convened immigrant families from my district who have been unjustly harmed by Trump’s cruel and unlawful mass deportation agenda.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley comforts Mercedes and her daughter.
No one should ever be denied the emergency medical care they need—period. But Trump's HHS is erasing guidance that affirmed protections for abortion care during medical emergencies. This is cruel, callous, and outright dangerous.
Good. No one should have their Social Security checks seized—ever. Now, let's pass my bill with @booker.senate.gov & @warren.senate.gov to end garnishment as a tool for student debt collection and do away with this cruel, ineffective practice once and for all.
Social Security recipients do not need to worry about their benefits being garnished due to their defaulted student loans, at least for now.
We will NOT stand by while Trump and ICE terrorize our communities and carry out their cruel, unlawful mass deportation agenda. Today, I convened advocates, impacted families, and local leaders to tell them loud and clear: Hands off our immigrant neighbors.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley stands behind a podium delivering remarks at a press conference in East Boston with immigrant justice advocates, local leaders, and families impacted by ICE.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley comforts a family impacted by ICE.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley hugs a wife and mother impacted by ICE.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley listens to constituents and impacted families share their stories.
The antisemitic attack in Boulder, Colorado is horrifying and unacceptable. Violence against innocent people is never the answer. It will never bring justice for anyone and we must do everything to root it out. I pray for the victims, their loved ones, and everyone impacted.
Thousands of dedicated federal workers have been unlawfully fired by Donald Trump & Elon Musk. We won't stop pushing until all of our federal workers are reinstated and made whole with the dignity & respect they deserve.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley joins fired federal workers for a sit-in in front of the House Capitol steps.
This Minority Health Awareness Month, I took to the House floor to call out how Trump's White House is making communities of color more vulnerable. Our greatest wealth as a nation is the health of our people — and Black health matters.
The same way private prisons profit from mass incarceration, private detention centers profit from mass deportation. So it's no surprise that Trump's "border czar" is profiting off Trump's cruel and inhumane mass deportation agenda. We must call this brazen corruption out.
President Trump's border czar Tom Homan earned an undisclosed amount in fees consulting for a division of the GEO Group, one of two companies that operates the vast majority of the nation’s immigrant detention facilities.
Thank you @pressley.house.gov for leading the fight to ensure disabled people can gain reproductive equity!
Photo of me in front of the Capital building holding a sign that reads Disability Reproductive Equity Day. Zini sits next to me.
Reproductive justice & disability justice are inextricably linked. With Republicans attacking Medicaid and reproductive freedom, I'm reintroducing my resolution affirming equitable access to reproductive care for people with disabilities.
