"They are hard-working, productive, and beloved members of our community who have been indiscriminately targeted for deportation proceedings," Healey wrote. "Some have been United States citizens. Some have been children. And as we have seen in our communities and, most recently, in Minnesota, ICE's tactics are increasingly chaotic, brutal, and even deadly. This doesn't make our communities safer - it, in fact, makes us all less safe."

"This is not the justice we believe in or stand for in Massachusetts or as Americans. I hope your company agrees."

Avelo Airlines, a company that was previously chartering flights for ICE in Massachusetts, recently announced it had cut ties with the administration.

"One of your peer companies recently cut ties with ICE. It's time for you to do the same," Healey wrote in the letter.

Healey's office did not provide additional comment to Fox News Digital.
