Community Reacts to ICE Detention and Disputed Child Arrest in Everett

A police chief in Everett, Massachusetts, contradicted claims made by DHS officials that a 13-year-old boy detained by ICE possessed a firearm and had an extensive criminal record, revealing instead that no firearm was found and that police did not contact ICE about his arrest. The DHS official, Tricia McLaughlin, falsely claimed the boy posed a safety threat with weapons and a criminal history, which local officials and police dispute. The incident has sparked protests and criticism of DHS's credibility and tactics.
