Massachusetts Governor Pressures Hanscom Field Aviation Firm to End Contract with ICE

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has publicly called for a private aviation company operating at Hanscom Field to terminate its contracts with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The governor's demand follows persistent pressure from activists and local officials concerned about the use of the airfield for deportation flights. In her statement, Healey emphasized that such operations are inconsistent with the values of the Commonwealth. This action places significant political pressure on the fixed-base operator to reconsider its relationship with the federal agency. The controversy centers on the company's logistical support for flights chartered by ICE.
