BOSTON (AP) — Immigrants are being detained while going to work, outside courthouses, and at store parking lots in Metro Boston as President Donald Trump targets so-called sanctuary cities in his effort to ramp up immigration enforcement.
As families hole up in homes — afraid to leave and risk detainment — advocates are reporting an increased presence of unmarked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement vehicles sitting in parking lots and other public areas throughout immigrant communities, where agents appeared to target work vans. One man captured a video of three landscapers who were working on the Saugus Town Hall property being arrested after agents smashed their truck window.
Just north of Boston, the city of Everett canceled its annual Hispanic Heritage Month festival after its mayor said it wouldn’t be right to “hold a celebration at a time when community members may not feel safe attending.”
“This is really increasing the fear in communities, which is already incredibly high,” said Elizabeth Sweet, executive director of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition.
ICE has contracts to detain people at multiple correctional facilities across New England, including county jails as well as the federal prison in Berlin, New Hampshire, and a publicly-owned, privately operated prison in Central Falls, Rhode Island.
Volunteers monitoring flights carrying detainees from New Hampshire’s Portsmouth International Airport at Pease have documented the transfer of more than 300 individuals since early August, with at least five flights per week transferring people from New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine and Massachusetts. All of the detainees have been in shackles, said David Holt, who has been organizing regular protests at Pease.

“Immigrants are being detained ....”
***********
They’re not immigrants. They’re invaders and sneak-ins.
Our bull duke whore Governor and Boston’s Maoist Mayor (whose name is Wu...so she even *looks* like a Red Guard) are outraged! Next thing to happen will be for DJT to send the National Guard into Boston (after he’s straightened out Memphis) to fix the huge crime problem here!
Nice. What the Dems are fighting for.
Massacuttes never got rid of the Loyalists who are now in control. They resist the American government
Being a lifelong resident of The Gay State (Massachusetts) I can assure you that the loyalists lost their influence here decades ago. Today this state is run by Maoists...the children of Mao’s Red Guards.
I second that evaluation.
I think Trump ought to cut these sanctuary cities for bait.
Withdraw all fed support or assistance and wait for them to BEG for help.
Give them all the rope they want, and more. It won’t take long!
“As families hole up in homes — afraid to leave...”
Well, they got it partly right, this describes people who live in those neighborhoods like in DC, Memphis and others that are afraid of being killed or raped if they leave their house (sometimes in their own house).
Sanctuary cities finest
