PRESS RELEASE
Town of Falmouth
Posted on: July 1, 2025

Select Board Statement on ICE operations and practices

The Town of Falmouth is committed to enabling our residents, businesses, employees, and visitors the opportunity to live, work, and experience our town's unique charm today, tomorrow, and for future generations. We strive to be an inclusive, welcoming, equitable, and diverse community, and we take seriously our responsibilities for economic prosperity and the health, safety, and wellbeing of residents and visitors.

Trust, including trust that constitutional and civil rights will be upheld by all law enforcement officials, is foundational to the kind of community we strive to be. Our local police work diligently to build trust and relationships - acting as guardians first, enforcers only when necessary.

In contrast, some of the tactics employed by federal immigration and law enforcement officials operating in Falmouth in recent weeks has contributed to a climate of fear that undermines the work that our town staff, including our police department, do each day. This has been reported in our local newspaper, shared on social media, and communicated directly to members of this Board by concerned constituents.

We do not dispute the rights and responsibilities of federal officials to enforce the laws of our country. However, it is essential that this be done in ways that respect and uphold constitutional and civil rights to freedom from unlawful discrimination, freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, freedom from self-incrimination, and access to due process under the law.

In addition, especially given recent events in Minnesota, where a man impersonating a police officer shot and, in one case killed, elected officials and their spouses, it is important that all law enforcement officials do their utmost to respond to lawful requests for identification and legal documentation. It is not enough to simply wear fatigues or invoke the name of a law enforcement agency.

Finally, while Massachusetts state law stipulates that local police do not and will not assist or participate in federal immigration enforcement, it is important that they be aware of potentially disruptive activities in our town. We encourage the traditional, collegial sharing of information between law enforcement agencies to ensure safe, effective operations.

The Town of Falmouth has many resources to offer residents and visitors, and all services of the Town are offered independent of immigration status. Information about immigration status is not requested by Town staff. More information about resources can be found on the Town's website, www.falmouthma.gov.

We encourage residents of the Town of Falmouth to avail themselves of these resources to become familiar with their rights and address concerns. And, as always, if you see something, say something-report suspicious activity to the appropriate authorities.
