An Act relative to access to justice

This bill restricts how Massachusetts law enforcement and courts share information with federal immigration authorities. It prevents agencies from accessing motor vehicle records or criminal offender data for civil immigration enforcement unless a judge issues a probable cause warrant. The law also requires written consent from individuals in custody before they can be interviewed by federal agents, while prohibiting officials from asking victims, witnesses, and their families about their immigration status unless required by law. Additionally, it limits court personnel from notifying federal agencies about the presence of individuals in courtrooms unless federal law mandates such notification. These changes aim to protect the privacy and legal rights of people interacting with state justice systems.
