A 13-year-old boy from Everett, Massachusetts, has been detained by ICE and transferred over 500 miles away to a facility in Virginia, sparking outrage in the local community. The boy was reportedly arrested during a police interaction, which officials claim involved a gun; however, local authorities, including the mayor, contest this allegation, stating that no firearm was recovered. Protests and rallies have erupted, with community members demanding his immediate release. Rep. Ayanna Pressley and local leaders have condemned the actions of ICE as ‘rogue’ and are calling for accountability. A Boston judge has issued a deadline for ICE to justify the detention, while community leaders continue to advocate for the boy’s return to his family and push back against claims made by the Department of Homeland Security.
