ICE acting Director Todd M. Lyons’ statement regarding US attorney’s support in Massachusetts

"Obstructing federal law enforcement officers in the performance of their duties is a crime that jeopardizes public safety and national security. The dedication of Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Leah Foley to investigate and prosecute individuals who attempt to obstruct justice is precisely the leadership we need. It is essential to remember that the law applies to everyone, including public officials, activists, private citizens and law enforcement officers, so we're immensely grateful to see this kind of support in Boston and beyond," said ICE acting Director Todd M. Lyons.
