US EditionMoulton visits Burlington ICE facility for a second time
Congressman Moulton found continued inadequate conditions and fewer than 10 detainees during his second inspection, with ICE promising improvements and exploring a women's facility in Massachusetts.
- On Monday, Congressman Seth Moulton conducted a second inspection of the ICE field office in Burlington, spending about 90 minutes inside at 1000 District Ave.
- Following mounting complaints, the visit stemmed from concerns about long holds and poor conditions, while earlier this year the Massachusetts congressional delegation asked ICE for information; the Burlington field office is approved only for short-term holds.
- Moulton reported stark conditions inside, noting detainees at the Burlington field office still sleep on concrete floors without mats, fewer than 10 were held Monday compared to about 50 in June, and detainees are moved quickly to out-of-state detention centers.
- ICE officials told Congressman Seth Moulton they ordered missing supplies and will improve conditions; Moulton said he will continue oversight, urged local protesters to keep pressure, and plans visits soon.
- A Boston Globe analysis shows Boston-area arrests more than tripled this year and transfers out-of-state spiked sixfold; Massachusetts lacks a women's facility, and Seth Moulton linked oversight to his Senate primary campaign.
