Governor Maura Healey today released the following statement in response to the Department of Justice lawsuit challenging Massachusetts’ policy regarding confidential license plates:

“In Massachusetts, we support law enforcement doing legitimate criminal investigative work, and local, state, and federal agencies doing that work can request confidential plates. But that’s not what we are seeing from ICE and its unconstitutional tactics. We are not going to use state resources to help ICE operate in secret, and without accountability, while refusing to provide basic information about who they are arresting and why. That makes our communities less safe, undermines public trust, and will not be allowed in this state.”
