To be clear, in no way does this office seek to interfere with the mandate of federal law enforcement. I only ask that removal proceedings commence subsequent to pending criminal prosecutions and that victims are shielded from premature deportations, thereby allowing them to assert their rights under the Massachusetts Victim Bill of Rights and to apply for the protections afforded to them by U and T Visas." ... filed. |

| 09/18/2018 | #10 | Memorandum of Decision: ... "The petition seeks a single, unprecedented, and exceedingly broad remedy - a writ of protection covering all undocumented immigrants and others who are subject to possible immigration consequences, for all of their current and future business in the Massachusetts courts, based on an ex parte record. For the reasons stated, I decline to report this matter to the full court as requested, and I decline to issue the writ. The full court would be in no better position than I am to issue such a broad and impractical writ in these circumstances. Accordingly, a judgment shall enter denying the petition." (Cypher, J.) |
