ICE Conducts Enforcement Sweep in Southeastern Massachusetts
What happened
ICE conducted a three-day enforcement sweep in southeastern Massachusetts, targeting communities including Dartmouth, New Bedford, and Fall River, between September 21 and 23. ICE detained 82 people during the operation, and federal judges later granted bond to many of the detainees. ICE stated that many detained individuals were dangerous criminals, while local immigration attorneys reported the arrests were seemingly random.
