Hi! My name is <YOUR NAME> and I’m from <CITY, STATE>.
I’m calling to let <NAME OF REPRESENTATIVE> know that I strongly support Abolishing ICE,
an agency with a long track record of human rights abuses.
I would like <NAME OF REPRESENTATIVE> to voice their support for abolishing ICE,
and hold the agency accountable for its inhumane and illegal actions.

287(g) shifts immigrant enforcement duties on local agencies. Boston does not have a 287(g) agreement, which is great! However, several places in Massachusetts do, and you might know people that live there and elsewhere with 287(g) agreements.

Talk to your friends about calling their representatives and demanding an end to this agreement.
