March 2, 2026:

ICE is coming to the CD 7, turning a 470,000 square foot warehouse into a detention camp facility. 

“Throughout this process, Roxbury officials communicated our legitimate concerns to every level of government,” Roxbury’s mayor and council said in a statement on Friday.

“Despite repeated outreach, our federal representative, Congressman Tom Kean Jr., did not engage to the level we had hoped to provide the advocacy
our residents deserved.”

Kean claims this is not true and has now introduced tepid legislation to try and protect towns from ICE encroachment.
