Mass. Attorney General

The AG’s Office issued  guidance following inquiries from health care providers and public school officials about the impact of federal immigration policies and executive orders on patients and students.“Parents should never be afraid to send their children to school, and people should not be afraid to seek medical treatment for themselves or family members,” AG Healey said. “With this guidance we hope to clarify the rights of health care providers, public school officials, patients and students who may have questions given the current climate around matters of immigration in our country.”
