  • Massport Has Facilitated over 6,000 ICE Deportations and Removals Through Hanscom

    ByToby Sackton

    Dec 10, 2025 – A new record of ICE flights from Hanscom Field, prepared by Human Rights First, suggests that over 6,000 individuals were flown out of Hanscom Field to U.S. prisons and/or unknown international destinations between January and November 2025.

    There were 114 ICE flights out of Hanscom since January, and Massport has denied any knowledge of these flights to the Hanscom Field Advisory Commission in an obvious lie. This report documents every ICE deportation flight departing Hanscom and charts the number going to various destinations, as shown below. With an average passenger load of 54 per flight, total ICE operations at Hanscom have involved more than 6000 people.

    The Batavia ICE facility in Buffalo, where the greatest number of flights are headed, has a capacity of 650 beds. Buffalo is also a transfer point to Moshannon, an ICE prison near Phillipsburg, PA. According to Investigative Post, a Buffalo-based nonprofit news organization, there are frequent reports of overcrowding and of detainees being forced to sleep on gymnasium floors

    Profiles in Courage

    ByToby Sackton

    At Lexington Alarm we have a theory of resistance. When people have courage to take small actions they generate a response. No action is too small or insignificant not to count. Sometimes the responses strengthen the resistance in surprising ways. This creates a snowball effect, and the resistance to abuses and attacks on our constitutional rights grows stronger.

    We have two really important examples from the past two weeks.

    How Lexington Alarm helped set the Stage for Public Discussion of Hanscom ICE Flights

    ByToby Sackton

    The recent letter from Maura Healey demanding that ICE halt flights out of Hanscom and the Boston Globe article examining ICE flights from Hanscom Field was the result of months of organizing, research, and coalition-building by Lexington Alarm and allied groups across the region. Far from being a sudden media moment, the story reflected a growing public effort to bring transparency and accountability to the use of a Massachusetts state facility for immigration enforcement operations.

    The issue first gained momentum after a Freedom of Information Act request revealed that Massport had knowledge of ICE-related charter flights at Hanscom but was not fully sharing that information with the Hanscom Field Advisory Commission. This lack of disclosure raised the possibility that Massport was deliberately keeping information about ICE flights from the Commission.

    In response to the Commission’s request for this data and our desire to increase public scrutiny, Lexington Alarm and partner organizations launched a coordinated letter-writing campaign directed at Massport executives, the Massport Board of Directors, and Governor Maura Healey. To make participation easy and accessible, we developed an online tool that allows individuals to send letters directly to Massport and the Governor both electronically and via regular mail.

    As of this week over six hundreds of letters and emails were sent. This response demonstrated that concern about ICE flights from Hanscom extended well beyond Lexington and involved residents across multiple communities.

  • 2 Ice Planes Land Same Day at Hanscom

    ByToby Sackton

    When Hanscom Airfield was first taken over by Massport, there was immense community opposition in Lexington, Concord, and surrounding towns because people did not want a major second Boston airport, as the infrastructure to support it was non-existent and it also would have changed the character of the Minuteman National Park, nearly an abutter.

    The result was a compromise for a small regional airfield, where jets of more than 60 seats would not be allowed. This agreement, limiting commercial airlines to 60 seats, was codified into law in the act enabling Massport to acquire the airport in 1980. The FAA sued, saying that FAA rules preempted local airport authorities from restricting operations in this way. Massachusetts won.
