John Bonifaz and Alexandra Flores-Quilty have a brand new op-ed in Mass Reside urging Massachusetts Legal professional Common Andrea Pleasure Campbell and Middlesex County District Legal professional Marian Ryan to research whether or not the kidnapping and detention of Rümeysa Öztürk violated Massachusetts felony legislation.
They write:
Throughout a latest look on GBH’s Boston Public Radio, AG Campbell acknowledged that “[w]hen it involves immigration enforcement, the dimensions is stacked towards us,” claiming that there was little she may do to carry ICE accountable. However in the case of implementing state felony legal guidelines prohibiting kidnapping, the responsibility is squarely with the state legal professional common and the district legal professional the place the kidnapping occurred. Massachusetts has the chance and duty not solely to attract a line within the sand for our state, however to take management nationally as politically motivated, illegal abductions by the Trump Administration proceed to happen.
