Page 18 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, February 7, 2020 OP-ED | FROM PAGE 7 fear, and everyone’s civil rights will be respected. It pursues this goal with a few key provisions. First, the bill bars law enforcement and court personnel from asking people about their immigration status unless required by law. The Massachusetts State Police already employs a similar policy. Many immigrants fear that calling 911 or speaking to the police may lead to separation from family members – especially children – making them CANNABIS | FROM PAGE 3 mission for a local license. The strict timeline is meant to keep the licensing process moving forward in what the Cannabis Licensing Commission anmore vulnerable to domestic abuse, wage theft and other crimes. When crimes like that go unchecked, it hurts the entire community. Second, the Safe Communities Act protects due process rights of detained immigrants by requiring Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to obtain their consent using a form that explains their right to decline an interview or have their own attorney present. Without these protections, people often make statements ticipated would be a shifting landscape where special permits and licenses may be denied, negotiations and agreements could fall through and applicants could pull out at any point in the process. Malden has or sign documents jeopardizing their immigration cases. Everyone deserves legal representation and the opportunity to defend themselves in court. Finally, the bill ends contracts with ICE that allow state and county law enforcement personnel to act as federal immigration agents at state taxpayers’ expense. Massachusetts is the only state in New England to have such agreements, which redirect already-scarce police resources to do the job of federal officials, instead of communifive available retail cannabis licenses, and when one proposal fails, an opportunity opens up for a new applicant.

The Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association supports the Safe Communities Act because police chiefs understand that it will help our local law enforcement officers to do their jobs and make our communities safer for all. Unfortunately, some opponents of the bill falsely claim that it will prevent immigrants from being arrested for committing a crime; in fact, any person who commits a crime – including any documented or ing something new, and members are continually evaluating the local regulations and the review and licensing process. Commission members plan to meet with city councillors after their special permit hearundocumented immigrant – would continue to be held fully responsible under state and federal law. Many residents from our communities have contacted me urging me to support the Safe Communities Act, and thanks to their advocacy, my personal experiences as an immigrant to the United States, and my deeply held conviction that all people deserve to be safe and treated with respect, I’m a proud co-sponsor of the Safe Communities Act. ings to discuss Malden’s Cannabis Ordinance and possible changes that would reserve opportunities for Malden residents and establish more diversity and social equity within the new industry.
