ICE agents carrying out a detainment in Worcester, Massachusetts on Thursday were forced to call the cops after at least 20 people attempted to block them from leaving with an unidentified woman, believed to be from Brazil, per NBC Boston. What happened next was fucking atrocious: Worcester cops slammed her teenage daughter’s face to the pavement and arrested her. The article itself is unclear as to the precise details given the lack of names involved and whether or not the daughter is a citizen, but between the video and details such as a local activist who was in the house with the family telling the station “When we were talking to her, she told us that if she wasn’t under arrest and there wasn’t a warrant, she could go to the bathroom, and that’s when they started pulling her with the baby in her hand,” it’s not like knowing more about it is going to make it better

ICE conducted themselves like Stephen Miller would: They called the cops and got them to escalate the situation – and this is NOT to excuse fucking throwing a teenage girl to the pavement, those cops should 100 percent be prosecuted for that – instead of handling it themselves or handing the woman a summons and telling her to show up in immigration court at the appointed date or they’ll be back. They’re letting local cops get blood on their hands for a situation they weren’t man enough to handle. If this doesn’t blow up all over the national news in the next few days then the vests saying “WORCESTER POLICE” instead of “ICE” on those tackling the girl will be EXACTLY why.

But this isn’t going to be the last time spontaneous civil resistance to an ICE raid breaks out. Far from it. Some of them are going to only have two dozen or so people like this one. Some will have considerably more, more than is realistic for local cops to respond to. It’s going to be a long summer.
