BROCKTON (CBS) – A Massachusetts lawmaker is defending a Facebook post she made alerting immigrants to rumored ICE raids in Brockton.
State Representative Michelle DuBois (D-10th Plymouth) posted the following on Facebook:
ICE raid in Brockton on 3/28 and 29th
If you get picked up by ICE call legal services direct line for immigration help: 774-488-5961
I got the following information from my friend in the Latin community: “I have a message for the immigrant community of Brockton. Please be careful on Wednesday 29. ICE will be in Brockton on that day. If you are undocumented don’t go out on the street. If there is a knock on the door of your house and you don’t know who it is, don’t open the door. I ask you to be careful.”
The post set off a firestorm of responses and on Tuesday night, DuBois said she did nothing wrong.
“Passing information along that is already all over the community not only lets the people I represent know what is happening. It lets ICE know that everyone in Brockton is aware of their intended raid if there was one,” DuBois said, reading a statement aloud.
Asked whether she thought the post could be construed as obstructing justice, she replied, “No, I don’t.”

Something has to be done with this rogue Rep. No more slaps on the wrist over this madness...
Mods might want to put this in Breaking because I think the story needs some serious attention. It’s pretty freakin outrageous...
And so.... let the outrage begin !
She represents illegals????
It’s Massachusetts, it’s a female Democrat representative. Nothing to see here, folks, move along...
Thanks! Any warnings to illegals may result in illegals packing their bags and heading back to their countries of origin, thus saving the US government money.
(A) Any person who—
(iii) knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation;
(v)
(I) engages in any conspiracy to commit any of the preceding acts, or
(II) aids or abets the commission of any of the preceding acts,
shall be punished as provided in subparagraph (B).
I would argue that tipping them off to a raid comes under "shielding from detection".
AIDING AND ABETTING (AGENCY)
The guilt of a person in a criminal case may be proved without evidence that he personally did every act involved in the commission of the crime charged. The law recognizes that, ordinarily, anything a person can do for himself may also be accomplished through direction of another person as an agent, or by acting together with, or under the direction of, another person or persons in a joint effort.
So, if the acts or conduct of an agent, employee or other associate of the person are willfully directed or authorized by the person, or if the person aids and abets another person by willfully joining together with that person in the commission of a crime, then the law holds the person responsible for the conduct of that other person just as though the person had engaged in such conduct himself.x Notice, however, that before any person can be held criminally responsible for the conduct of others it is necessary that the person willfully associate himself in some way with the crime, and willfully participate in it. Mere presence at the scene of a crime and even knowledge that a crime is being committed are not sufficient to establish that a person either directed or aided and abetted the crime.
Rumors of raids are a great tool to stop illegal commerce. Keep it up!

Charge her as a co-conspirator for every crime committed by an illegal in that jurisdiction. That is, after all, exactly what she is doing; the charges would be just and proper and way way way overdue.
high anxiety...
Treason. Prison.
Yep - the Sisterhood will see to it nothing comes of it.
Just like Clinton, Lerner, Gorelick, and a host of other’s like them.
Her Facebook has been scrubbed
Yeah, this is aiding and abetting...
President Trump needs to regroup.
He has to start thinking of America like a piece of property. In order to make America Great again he needs to clean house first.
Imagine if he was trying to sell or develop a property. First clean out the garbage, fumigate and mow the grass to make it look better for the buyers.
Isn’t aiding and abetting still a crime?
When my children did something they KNEW was WRONG the first defense for their wrongheaded action was “I did nothing wrong.” Helping a Murderer— or a Thief escape the legal consequence for their actions is WRONG— SO IS WHAT this ugly American did.What part of ILLEGAL does this Democrat NOT understand?ICE has a Legal authority to act in defense of America politicians especially ought understand they are obligated to protect America and defend our Laws.
Her Facebook page removed all the posts related to the issue and no longer does it say she’s a state Reo. There is a pic of her next to a US flag and the header says Be The Change You Want to See in the world.But now she has posted a link to an article about how she defends the Facebook post.
You know.The one she deleted.
