Subject: Stop Investments That Help ICE Abduct Residents of Massachusetts

Dear Senator Recipient,

I am writing to express my concern about an investment made by the PRIM fund. More specifically, it is my understanding that through two fixed income investments with Shenkman Capital Management and KKR the fund currently holds bonds issued by a company called Signature Aviation. Signature itself is an aviation services provider which provides refueling and ground handling services to aircraft affiliated with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at Hanscom Field in Bedford, MA. This is the primary airport in New England used by the agency and the point of departure for detainees from across New England.

The recent actions by ICE have caused substantial damage to communities across our state. Seventy percent of undocumented residents in Massachusetts have been present in the United States for at least five years.1 When they are removed from our community they leave behind spouses, children, friends and neighbors. Furthermore, removing undocumented individuals en-masse from the state stands to inflict substantial economic harm on the state. Ninety four percent of undocumented individuals in the workforce are employed, generating an aggregate $8.5 billion in annual income and generating $649 million in state and local taxes in 2024.2

Signature Aviation has been complicit in causing this damage. An estimated 6,000 ICE detainees were flown out of Hanscom Field on the 127 flights conducted by the agency in 2025.3 This represents 72% of the individuals arrested by ICE’s Boston Field Office over that same period.4 Signature Aviation is believed to have provided refueling and ground handling services for all but one of these flights. Given that Signature is thought to service ICE flights in at least a dozen other cities, it likely helps the agency transport tens of thousands of people annually.5

From a business perspective Signature’s decision to work with ICE demonstrates exceedingly poor judgement by its executives, calling into question the wisdom of this investment. The company is rapidly developing a toxic reputation which will undoubtedly affect its ability to attract customers and find local vendors to support its operations. Protests have already taken place at Hanscom in addition to similar actions at Signature locations in Baltimore, Minneapolis, Seattle and Washington, DC. In addition, Governor Healey recently wrote an open letter to Signature’s CEO condemning its cooperation with ICE at Hanscom, concluding by stating “enough is enough”. This message was reiterated in a subsequent letter signed by ten separate labor unions in the state, including the AFL-CIO, SEIU, Massachusetts Teachers Association and Massachusetts Nurses Association. Finally, a nationwide campaign targeting Signature Aviation was recently launched by a pro-democracy group called Bend the Arc.

Continuing to hold any bond or security related to Signature Aviation is an unacceptable course of action for the PRIM fund. No state agency should invest any quantity of money in the removal of its own residents. The governor of our state as well as labor unions representing over a hundred thousand workers across the state have publicly criticized Signature for its behavior. It’s time for the PRIM fund to do the same. For this reason, I ask that the fund communicate to Shekman Capital Management and KKR holders its desire for the funds to refrain from future purchases of Signature Aviation assets and to liquidate any current Signature Aviation related assets it currently has.Thank you for your time and attention.

Sincerely,
