ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

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.

Gotta add that “ICE’s holding facility” in Burlington, MA, is nothing but the basement of an office building.

Also, when they get done mocking the ICE agents, they are going to go door to door and get FULL-SIZE SNICKERS!

No Kings Day is almost here.

The Trump regime believes that if it can overwhelm us with atrocities and threats, we'll surrender our rights without fighting for them.

But the people won’t bow down. We will rise. Join us at a peaceful protest on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

No institutional design can overcome a lawbreaking president, a Congress defending lawbreaking and forfeiting its own power, a Supreme Court that pretends legal text doesn’t count to facilitate lawbreaking, and a citizenry that votes for all that.
Need at least one that wants rule of law. Maybe two.

CI's proposed Article of Impeachment for treason is great. Skeptics are badly underestimating how powerful it would be for Dems to keep introducing such articles. They could be angry, funny, provocative! Even in "failure," it would be a way of seizing the narrative through quality political theater.

Keira Havens @highcountryrose.bsky.social joined Jessica Denson @jessicadenson07.bsky.social on Lights On last night.

"What we need to do is get message discipline. That the remedy for tyranny and treason is impeachment. Period. Full Stop. That’s all you need. And we can take it from there."

Impeachment is an opportunity to bring the facts of Trump's unfitness to light. You smug bastard.

Do they have a prize for blowing up boats in the Caribbean and then bragging that people who made their livelihood fishing there for generations are now afraid to go out on the water?

Me and my dinosaur were in Portland, Oregon, during his first term, so you know how badly we want to be there right now.

President Trump is bucking tradition and legal precedent in pushing to deploy the National Guard to Democratic-led cities like Portland, Oregon, and Chicago due to what he says is rampant crime and to support his crackdown on illegal immigration.
