A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

So.. since New York Governor Kathy Hochul now apparently cares about public health measures that reduce COVID spread, how about issuing at executive order that prevents mask bans and affirms the right for anyone to wear a mask to protect their health?

Governor Jared Polis says on a reddit AMA that Colorado will fix it so that people can access COVID vaccines without a prescription within the next few days.

drubbitz
Have your decisions contributed to Colorado becoming a "prescription-only" state for the covid vaccine?

jaredpolis
We are going to do everything we can to make sure that people can access the vaccine of their choice without a prescription, and I think this will happen soon. I was hoping we could wrap it up on Friday. Hopefully in the next few days we will get this cleared up.

Pretending problems don’t exist is a bad habit to get caught in.

Covid is not mild, and pretending won’t work with…
Long Covid
Cancer
Immune Damage
Brain Damage
Diabetes
Extreme Fatigue
Heart Damage
Or any of the other damages that Covid causes. Time to STOP Pretending

“The surge of these devastating conditions reflects collapse of water & sanitation infrastructure, malnutrition & restricted access to health care.

Doctors say none of the treatments are readily available in Gaza, where there is a chronic shortage of basic medical supplies due to Israeli blockade.”

Dangerous viruses that cause severe paralytic illness are thriving in Gaza, where starving children living under an Israeli blockade can’t access the food or treatments they need to recover.
