At this central facility for New England, ICE agents are deployed in unmarked vehicles to abduct immigrants across Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont. When an immigrant in Massachusetts is arrested, they are often taken here and denied due process. Previously, this location was for temporary holding with no overnight detention, but this is no longer the case. Immigrants are now being detained for days in cells with no beds, no windows, no clocks, no soap, no showers, and hardly any food or water. Each cell is filled with dozens of immigrants, and there is an exposed toilet. The immigrants are not allowed outdoor time. In addition to those being imprisoned, throughout the day immigrants arrive at this office for mandatory appointments. The building has tinted windows, no signage, and is situated in a large office park. Department of Homeland Security officers and Burlington Police, respectively, have affirmed that we have the right to protest peacefully outside this facility.
