12-year-old boy left alone on sidewalk after ICE raid in Massachusetts [View all]

Source: CBS

A 12-year-old boy was left behind on a street after an immigration raid in Waltham, Massachusetts.

United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were seen on camera leaving the boy by himself on a sidewalk after arresting the person he was with on Felton Street on Sunday, May 4. Neighborhood Watch volunteers were able to get the boy home safely.

Waltham City Councilor Colleen Bradley-MacArthur witnessed the raid and recorded some of it on video. She said a volunteer notified the boy of his rights and walked him back to his home.

At one point, the councilor was on a sidewalk when she recorded an ICE agent driving their car at her and onto the sidewalk.

The agent got out of the car, refused to say what agency he was with though the councilor reminded him that by law federal agents must identify themselves. He shouted at her to not interfere, though she was just observing.
