Ed Markey

This is a red alert moment. We need to defund and abolish ICE.

I have received numerous reports of a large delivery of unmarked vehicles to the ICE facility in Burlington. We need answers now.

This is a red alert moment. Trump and MAGA Republicans are trying to steal the 2026 election. We have to start working to protect polling places from Trump's paramilitary ICE goons before it's too late.

‘Big relief’: Mass. Haitian community breathes easier after court ruling but uncertainty remains - The Boston Globe TPS, a legal status reserved for those fleeing countries in upheaval, was slated to end for Haitians on Tuesday before a judge stepped in.

For 350,000 Haitian TPS holders and their families, this ruling provides long-overdue relief. I won't stop fighting the Trump administration's illegal attempts to tear our communities apart.

The latest Epstein files release is devastating. But it still is just a fraction of the full story. Pam Bondi must stop hiding the truth from the American people, and the DOJ must release ALL of the files now. We need justice for survivors of this terrible abuse.

I just voted against funding for DHS, ICE, and Trump’s lawless administration. We need to defund ICE, get them out of our communities, and abolish this violent agency. Not one more nickel for Trump and his MAGA minions.

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice."

That was an ICE officer in Minnesota, clearly violating the First Amendment. From threatening onlookers with violence to telling people recording them that they are going into a “domestic terrorist” database.

This must end.

Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

Renee Good and Alex Pretti's families have no way to hold their murderers accountable. We need to abolish qualified immunity now. @ayannapressley.bsky.social and I are fighting to do just that.

Urging the Marquis Group to bargain in good faith and reach a positive agreement with UFCW 1445 so that the majority immigrant Chelsea facility workers are recognized and compensated with fair wages, a safe workplace, and the dignity that comes from their vital work.

Fire Kristi Noem.
Fire Stephen Miller.
Fire Tom Homan.

Prosecute every last one of Trump's thugs who are murdering Americans and terrorizing our communities.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti "We are heartbroken but also very angry. "Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. "The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. "Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

"Please get the truth out about our son."

Right now, Alex Pretti's parents have no way to hold the thugs who killed him accountable. That's why we have to do more than stop funding DHS and ICE—we need to abolish qualified immunity and secure justice for these families.

We need to shut it down. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is an accomplice to the murder of Americans.

This is about right and wrong, and murder is just plain wrong.

No funding for DHS. No funding for ICE. We can stop this.

Not one more cent for DHS and ICE. We have the power to end this.

Masked federal agents just shot and killed a man in Minneapolis in what is being described as an execution. We have to stop funding DHS and get ICE out of our cities now. Senator Markey: Stop funding DHS. ICE out of our cities now.

A federal judge just unsealed the court records and confirmed what we’ve known all along—Rümeysa was taken from Massachusetts and sent thousands of miles away to a horrific detention center in Louisiana when she had committed no crime.

No funding for Trump's ICE thugs.

Watch this video. Trump’s lawless ICE thugs are apparently so empowered that an officer told someone recording them on camera that she’s now in a database as a domestic terrorist. This must end now. Trump's Un-American ICE Thugs Are Apparently Creating a Database

I want to talk to you about Liam Ramos, the five-year-old who was kidnapped by masked ICE thugs in his own driveway. I am disgusted. I am heartbroken. And I am angry. ICE is out of control. We need accountability now.

Screenshot of The Nation headline reading: Donald Trump’s Nuclear Delusions The president wants to resume nuclear testing. Senator Edward Markey asks, “Is he a warmonger or just an idiot?’

It would be a mistake of radioactive proportions to resume nuclear testing. It does nothing more than give Russia and China the green light to escalate and drags the world toward a new arms race. More from me in The Nation.

Picture of five-year-old detained by ICE.

ICE detained a five-year-old child and used him as bait in Minnesota.

Let that sink in.

This is sick. No more funding for Trump’s ICE thugs.

I don’t take corporate PAC money—no one should. On the 16th anniversary of Citizens United it’s long past time we get dark money out of politics once and for all.

End Qualified Immunity now. Hold the ICE officer who blocked aid accountable for Renee Good’s death.

Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region. This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations. Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st. Additional discussions are being held concerning The Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland. Further information will be made available as discussions progress. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and various others, as needed, will be responsible for the negotiations - They will report directly to me. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

We don’t need a Golden Dome, and we don’t need Greenland. Trump’s quest to get both is fool’s gold.

Ed stands and smiles with UNITE HERE Local 26 workers

From concession stand workers, to university dining hall staff, and the hotel workers who keep our tourism economy booming, these are the essential workers who make Massachusetts run. Honored to earn @local26-unitehere.bsky.social's endorsement

Here’s what you didn’t hear in Trump’s rant yesterday:

Electricity costs up 13%.

Coffee up 20%. Beef up 16%.

22 Million Americans cut off from the Affordable Care Act cuts.

Trump is completely out of touch. Enough about Greenland. Lower costs for the American people now.

At this years MLK Jr. Memorial Breakfast we asked the question: “What would Dr. King demand of us in this America?”

I believe Dr. King would want us to fight.

Honored to be in community with so many leaders who are heading up that fight every single day.

YouTube video by Ed Markey for Senate Dr. King taught us that silence is not neutrality—it is complicity.

Dr. King taught us that silence is not neutrality—it is complicity. On this MLK Day, we recommit to nonviolent resistance, to dignity, and to justice for all. The fight continues. #MLKDay
