Massachusetts continues to be under siege from ICE ever since Trump and his administration took office and empowered them to ramp up their aggression. Whether it’s kidnapping women off the street, smashing and grabbing people out of cars, or stealing people from local gas stations, nowhere and nobody is safe, it seems. This seems more apparent with an incident in Chelsea, in which police trapped three minors to lure in their parents, as ICE was waiting and brought them in together.
In the video posted by user CantStopPoppin on the EyesOnIce Reddit page, a situation is caught on video at a Chelsea police station. In the video, and initially reported by Bastian News, Hispanic ICE agents can be seen questioning a family and arresting the father and three of the minors who were allegedly arrested during school dismissal for delinquency. When the parents were called to pick them up, ICE agents were waiting and sprung a trap, arresting the three minors and their father.
This caused a huge stir, as Massachusetts state law prohibits local police from assisting ICE with immigration enforcement, but this seems like a carefully coordinated action. Many folks on Reddit had this to say about the incident.
“We should report this to the state, Governor Healey will not take kindly to this if this was the case”
“Hispanics who work for ICE are the equivalent of Jews who worked as concentration camp guards, and I say this as a Hispanic.”
“Hispanic Uncle Tom.”
“A Hispanic ICE agent is really a modern Uncle Tom”
The only thing that is known about the family is that they were taken away, with no more updates on the situation. One thing is clear: in Massachusetts, be careful if you’re an immigrant, because ICE is on the move and they are everywhere. We will update this story if we learn more about the situation.
