Come join us Monday and Tuesday 11-1 to protest ICE cruelties.
Where: Burlington, MA: From 11–12 we hold signs on a busy street to communicate our message publicly, and from 12–1 we gather outside the ICE
office for a more informal time of signs, speaking out, connection, and visible solidarity with immigrants while making
our presence known to ICE.
What to bring: A sign!
Meeting point: Corner of Burlington Mall Road and District Ave, closest to Pressed Cafe.
After: Optionally join us for lunch at Pressed Cafe.
ICE Jail
Interactions
- Immigrants who are fortunate to leave the facility have shown gratitude for our presence and some share their stories with us.
- ICE agents tend to cover their faces with masks, many record us with their phones, others give a satisfied smile or laugh, they rarely say anything.
- The security officers stationed at the front of the building have not hassled us.
- Passersby from nearby businesses often thank us for being there, and many have shared that they never knew this was an ICE facility.
Parking for District Ave Protests
There is parking at busineses and on the street, but there are risks. See information about where parking is officially allowed and the risk of being
towed in the District Ave Area on the
What to Expect page of
the Bearing Witness page. Note that no one has been towed since Jared and Laurie
started protesting in April 2025. In order to be legally towned,
Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 266, Section 120D
specifies that in order for towing to occur you need to be warned by a sign or a person that parking is restricted.
In addition, the owner of the property must get permission from the chief of police or designee and provide certain information.
