Healey Calls On ICE To Stop Using Hanscom Field

Governor Maura Healey is pressing federal officials to halt ICE immigration flights at Hanscom Field as local leaders say they are being kept in the dark.

 

Members of the Hanscom Field Advisory Commission say ICE has not shared basic information about flight activity or detainee numbers. A report shows 114 ICE flights left Hanscom this year through late November, a 143-percent increase, as Healey criticizes enforcement tactics that led to more than 14-hundred arrests in a recent operation.

 

ICE says it will not release details, citing operational security.
