The NAACP Worcester branch is calling for a formal investigation into ICE agents detaining a woman Thursday and Worcester Police Department arresting another woman during the same incident as dozens of neighbors attempted to intervene.

Fred Taylor Sr., president of the NAACP Worcester, was one of several Worcester and state leaders to speak on Friday about the incident. Taylor urged transparency about what transpired and promises that it won’t happen again.

“The Worcester police showed up yesterday with overwhelming numbers. That was totally uncalled for,” Taylor said. “Our local police is not tasked to protect ICE. They’re here to protect the people and they should behave that way.”

Statement by U.S. Attorney Leah B. Foley Regarding Attempts to Obstruct ICE Operations
Wednesday, May 14, 2025

For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Massachusetts
“The interference with ICE operations around Massachusetts has been disturbing, to say the least. This conduct poses significant public and officer safety risks. It is conduct that should be vilified rather than glorified. I will not stand idly by if any public official, public safety officer, organization or private citizen acts in a manner that criminally obstructs or impedes ICE operations. The United States Attorney’s Office, along with our federal partners, will investigate any violations of federal law and pursue charges that are warranted by such activity.”

Apparently brown shirts are not required for ICE agents and their “federal partners”. Maybe they’ll add them to the line item for uniforms, IDs, badges, and standard face masks in next year’s budget.

The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him.
