12-year-old boy left alone on sidewalk after ICE raid in Massachusetts
Source: CBS
A 12-year-old boy was left behind on a street after an immigration raid in Waltham, Massachusetts.
United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were seen on camera leaving the boy by himself on a sidewalk after arresting the person he was with on Felton Street on Sunday, May 4. Neighborhood Watch volunteers were able to get the boy home safely.
Waltham City Councilor Colleen Bradley-MacArthur witnessed the raid and recorded some of it on video. She said a volunteer notified the boy of his rights and walked him back to his home.

At one point, the councilor was on a sidewalk when she recorded an ICE agent driving their car at her and onto the sidewalk.

The agent got out of the car, refused to say what agency he was with though the councilor reminded him that by law federal agents must identify themselves. He shouted at her to not interfere, though she was just observing.

So if Americans start interfering do they get sent to the death camps too?

This is pure evil. Anyone that is OK with this is pure evil.

(17,005 posts)because he was resourceful enough to find his way home, or to a friends house; and I DONT TRUST these people to keep a kid safe and be kind.
I feel very sorry for the kid, and I despise these agents for being so willing to do evil, but I also dont think the detention centers they set up for the kids are safe either.

Volunteer walked boy home

So glad AND relieved to read that the boy got home - after being ABANDONED for the sake of arresting the person he was with.
Honest to Pete...
