 It was a contentious afternoon. Over 60 gathered near the Suffolk County Jail in protests of immigration policies and prison conditions affecting hundreds detained in Massachusetts. I was facing deportation by ICE like a month ago and they were trying to deport me in my country because I was driving without license. Lawmakers are targeting lawmakers in the state house to pass the trust act, a new policy that will dismantle the manner in which many, like Mariola, have been arrested for minor infractions. No, we're not going to deport people here. Just because they're undocumented? No. We're not going to have them detained in our prisons, no. We're not going to spend our tax money on prisons, no. If you or I would get stopped for a traffic violation, we would maybe go to the judge and say, okay, you know, you did this, it's a fine of $50 you can leave. Immigration supporters are urging President Obama to use executive power and mandate legalization for those that are undocumented. The picture that they bring back to them, the people holding signs, the people waving is just their faces in the windows. Now, activists say that Massachusetts legislators will receive a proposal Thursday detailing their demands for policy changes as hundreds of immigrants remain detained.
