Bring cash to help us raise funds for the aclu ma! We're selling ice cream to benefit the aclu ma, we will have an art installation you can be a part of, and we will be having a coordinated cathartic scream to release our frustrations and voice our rage! ICE out of Plymouth NOW! ICE out of MA NOW!
Messaging: I.C.E. Scream for human rights ICE is lawless and dangerous. ICE has been employing paramilitary tactics that are authoritarian/fascist in nature, particularly in relation to its treatment of immigrant communities. Its methods reflect a broader trend of state-sanctioned violence and oppression. By collaborating with ICE, Sheriff McDonald is giving his stamp of approval to the current fascist regime in our country. Sheriff McDonald is the only sheriff in the state of Massachusetts that still has an agreement with ICE. We must put an end to this immediately, to show that Massachusetts is a strong progressive leader for the rest of our country that wants a better future for all.
Sheriff McDonald, end the IGSA with ICE now! Plymouth County Correctional Facility (PCCF) should not be helping ICE kidnap and disappear anyone! PCCF is the only facility in the state of Massachusetts with an ICE agreement. The agreement allows ICE to house migrants. The renewed 5 year contract signed last year increased the immigrant detention capacity by 35%. When Channel V Boston, WCVB, asked Sheriff McDonald in April 2025 if he worried about being complicit in sending people out of the country who shouldn’t be sent, he said, he doesn't worry about it. https://www.wcvb.com/article/massachusetts-ice-holding-facility-plymouth-county/64445839 Kidnapping anyone, without due process, is not public safety! The only minority ruining the country are billionaires. https://www.pressreader.com/usa/the-boston-globe/20241121/281762749801818
I scream, you scream, we all scream for freedom: We will be planning a coordinated scream, catharsis for a community that deserves better. Let's channel our collective frustration, build community, and demand better. We also will be selling ice cream with proceeds benefiting the ACLU MA so they can continue their important work. Additionally, there will be paper ice cream cones you can stylize, write messages on, and add to the art installation that originated in Worcester. #ICEScream #IndivisibleVoices #MeltTheSilence

Goals and Demands for State Elected Officials: 1. We call on Sheriff Joseph D McDonald to improve the inhumane conditions (eg- overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, and abuse by staff) at the Plymouth County Correctional Facility, for all detainees.
We call on Sheriff Joseph D McDonald to end all contracts that allow Plymouth County Sheriff’s Office to house ICE detainees or provide ICE related services.
We call on our state senators and representatives to pass crucial legislation that will keep our communities safe: An Act Ensuring Law Enforcement Identification and Public Trust (HD.4886), the Location Shield Act (HD2965/SD501), the Dignity Not Deportations Act (HD3596/SD1107), Immigrant Legal Defense Act (H.1954 / S.1127), the Safe Communities Act.(H.2580 / S.1681)
We call on Governor Maura Healey to use her authority to protect Massachusetts’ immigrant communities by declaring a statewide policy of non-cooperation with ICE and other federal agencies that ignore due process and act outside the rule of law. Statewide policy shall include that if called to the scene, local or state police will act to prevent extrajudicial kidnappings of MA residents. They shall verify a) the authenticity of an agent's identification (i.e., badge), and b) their authority to arrest the person in question (i.e., warrant).
We call on Attorney General Andrea Campbell to pursue prosecution of ICE for kidnapping Massachusetts residents under state law.
We also call on Attorney General (AG) Campbell to prosecute federal agents, who are by law required to identify themselves, but refuse to by wearing masks and not showing badges; as well as any non-agent individuals serving as MAGA mercenaries while impersonating federal agents.
This a local Indivisible event!
A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
