Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell released a guide to people's rights if they are arrested or witness an arrest by ICE.

Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell released a "Know Your Rights" guide for immigrants and state communities due to "increased immigration enforcement activity," Campbell's office announced Thursday.

The aggressive ICE tactics we’re seeing across the commonwealth do not protect the public, and instead spread fear,” AG Andrea Campbell said. The guidance responds to questions that the office said it has received about what individuals should do or say if approached by ICE agents,

The coordinated sweep comes as ICE has vowed a “Second Surge” in Massachusetts as the Trump administration intensifies its crackdown on illegal immigration.

A man facing trial on child rape and other sex crimes was one of dozens rounded up this week on Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, sources tell 5 Investigates, raising the likely prospect that ICE’s arrest will end his criminal prosecution without resolution for his alleged victim.

People we spoke with in Amherst Thursday said they were shocked and saddened, especially knowing Amherst is a sanctuary city.

Federal officials apprehended “around 40” individuals on Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, part of continuing immigration law enforcement efforts.
