State officials release 4 submissions to immigration agent misconduct portal launched in March

"“We are reviewing and investigating these submissions as they come in and will work with the AG's Office to release others when they are ready,” a spokesperson for Governor Maura Healey said."

"“I was unlawfully detained and interrogated for over 12 hours, during which time I received no food and was not permitted to make any telephone calls,” the person, whose personal information was redacted, wrote. “Although a thorough search of my belongings revealed no evidence of any illegal activity or contraband, I remained in isolation for an excessive period - conduct I consider to be gross misconduct and a violation of my basic civil liberties.”"

"In response to a request for all of the submissions to the portal, the AG's office shared four reports with Boston.com."

A public records request sought all submissions to an ICE misconduct portal launched in mid-March for reporting potentially unlawful activity by federal immigration agents. State officials released four submissions to the portal but declined to provide more records. A governor’s spokesperson said the submissions are being reviewed and investigated as they arrive, with additional releases coordinated with the Attorney General’s Office when ready. The governor’s office did not provide the number of submissions received. The Attorney General’s Office said it defers to the governor’s office as the custodian of the portal submissions, while noting some complaints can be referred for review. One released report dated March 1 described a lawful permanent resident detained and interrogated for over 12 hours at Logan International Airport, with no food, no phone calls, and isolation despite no contraband found.
