Boston (AP) immigrants are arrested on so-called sanctuary cities in the Metro Boston during work, outside the court and parking spaces in Metro Boston as President Donald Trump.

As families in houses – fear of drafting and risk in danger – reports that supporters report an increased presence of non -marked US immigration and customs authorities that are located in parking spaces and other public areas across immigrant communities in which the agents apparently target driving care. A man has recorded a video of three landscapes who worked on the Saucus Saugus, which was arrested after agents had smashed their truck window.

North of Boston, the city of Everett canceled its annual Festival of the Hispanic Heritage Month after their mayor said it would not be the right to “stop a celebration at a time when the members of the community may not feel protected.

The measures were praised by officials such as the Republican governor of New Hampshire Kelly Ayotte, who signed laws this year in which she had banned the Sanctuary City policy in her state and not swore to let New Hampshire “the way of Massachusetts”. This summer ICE started an airport in New Hampshire this summer, about an hour from Boston to transport recent England prisoners.

However, others argue that ICE’s presence in Massachusetts damage more than benefits.

“This increases fear in the communities, which is already incredibly high,” said Elizabeth Sweet, managing director of the coalition of the Advocacy Advocacy of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee.

Trump aims at so -called “sanctuaries”

Cities such as Boston and Chicago – in which Mayor Brandon Johnson also condemned the recent immigration decline in the Trump government and described it as an example of “tyranny” – have become targets for the enforcement in the past few days. Trump also threatened to employ the national guard to Chicago, although he had fluctuated military commitment last week.

The US Ministry of Justice submitted a lawsuit against the mayor Michelle Wu, the city of Boston and its police authority on September 4 because of its guidelines in the city city and claimed that they disrupt the enforcement of immigration. In response, Wu Trump accused “of attacking cities to hide the failures of his government”.

Now ICE has started an operation, which is referred to as “Patriot 2.0” on the heels of a May, in which almost 1,500 immigrants were arrested in Massachusetts. The most recent operation took place before a preliminary mayoral election, in which the reigning WU easily won. The mayor has become a regular goal of its defense of the city and its so -called sanctuary guidelines, which restrict the cooperation between the local police and the federal immigration officer.

Tricia McLaughlin, deputy secretary of the home protection authority, said that the Boston boost would concentrate on “the worst of the worst criminal illegal foreigners” who live in Massachusetts.

“The guidelines for the sanctuary such as the criminals crowded by Mayor WU, but they protect them at the risk of law-free American citizens,” she said in a press release at the beginning of last week, in which the arrest of seven people was detailed by ice, including a 38-year-old man from Guatemala, who had previously been arrested due to charges with assault.

The agency did not respond to inquiries from the Associated Press according to the number of immigrants who have been detained since the beginning of “Patriot 2.0”.

Inmates who are housed in institutions in all of New England

ICE has contracts for the detention of people in several correctional facilities in all of New England, including county prisons in Berlin, New Hampshire, and a publicly owned prison in Central Falls, Rhode Island.

Voluntary monitoring of flights with prisoners from the Portsmouth International Airport of New Hampshire at Peasee have broadcast more than 300 people since the beginning of August. People from New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine and Massachusetts broadcast at least five flights a week. All prisoners were in bonds, said David Holt, who organized regular protests at Peyer.

Demonstrators gathered in places such as the ICE office in Burlington, where three participants were arrested for violation.

Families who were hidden, as reported more ice cream observations

Luce, the immigrant law network from Massachusetts, occupied its hotline with interpreters that speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Mandarin and Haitian to collect information about ice observations. The organization called for volunteers who speak languages ​​like Cape Verdean Kriolu, Nepali and Vietnamese to cope with the influx.

Kevin Lam, Co-Executive Director of the Asian American Resource Workshop, a community group that works on immigration and other topics, said they had seen a “spike” in ice activities, including five Vietnamese residents from a district detained in Boston in Boston last week.

He and other supporters said that many immigrants had expressed fear of everyday tasks how to pick up their children at school and drive on public transport. However, he said that many still take part in work, with some are ready to be detained because they are the main earners for their families.

“Many of them say: ‘Yes, it is a risk every day when I am out, but I have to work to take care of my family,” he said.

Asylum seekers and other legal immigrants, to which it was targeted

The US lawyer of Republicans Massachusetts, Leah Foley, said she was “100% supportive” for ICE’s recent surgery in the state and her office will not hesitate to pursue immigrants without legal status. Non -criminals were also grown into Raids, which ice cream referred to as “collateral arrests”.

“We are willing to violate or impair persons who violate all federal laws, including those who enter our country without permission, and those who attack the federal law enforcement officers or the federal officials who do their job,” she said in a statement to the AP.

Proponents such as LAM pushed back the claims that ICE agents only target criminals and said that the strategy with less protection for asylum seekers and others who are legal here seems to go far beyond “bad immigrants”.

Alexandra Peredo Carroll, director of legal education and advocacy on the Mabel Center for Migrant Justice based in Boston, said that the Trump government is trying to “fit people into this narrative, to be illegal or to violate the law. In fact, many of them are people who actually go through the legal process.”

“I think they will see more and more how families are torn apart, how people without criminal history, with pending forms of relief, outstanding applications are only rounded off,” she said.
