Local news

In the video, the Worcester police officers push a young girl to the ground to arrest them. The city demands the charges against the girl who is dropped.

The city of Worcester published police camera film material from police body, in which the federal immigration officers and police officers from Worcester arrest their youthful daughter.

“I recognize the significant effects that this incident had on our community,” said City Manager Eric Batista in a statement. “It created a split and caused trauma for the directly involved people and the larger community as a whole.”

The city published on May 8 in a collection of YouTube videos and five 911 calls that relate to the incident. The published footage came from the officers Juan Vallejo, Shauna McGuirk and Patrick Hanlon, and Batista said the videos were the “first batch” to be published.

The police authority calls on the indictment against the youthful girl to be rejected “under the entirety of the circumstances”, said Paul Saucier, chief of police from Worcester. In the Body Camera film material, the youthful girl is pushed to the ground after she was supposed to be at risk of a child and ran behind the vehicle.

“I hope that the publication of all the camera material supported by body and the determination of a clear guideline about how municipal employees should get in touch with ICE agents is the first step towards repairing unintentional damage, and can help to react in these situations as a community and community,” said Batista.

Batista also granted an executive regulation that “confirms how the police of Worcester interacts with the US immigration and customs authority”.

The Executive Ordinance stipulates that community employees and leaders do not initiate ask about immigration status, investigations or arrests based on the immigration status and do not keep anyone on the basis of a state migration -like.

City workers, including the police, will also not work with federal agents to enforce the civil immigration law, except to support the security of the civil servants, to ensure public security, to determine traffic during a federal operation, to ensure or help a police officer to liability someone who is liable for criminal detention command.

According to the folk counting data, almost a quarter of 200,000 people were born abroad in Worcester.

Video: “You have jurisdiction,” says Officer

In the morning on May 8, the police replied to reports that 25 people surrounded a federal agent. The police arrested the youthful girl and Ashley Spring, a candidate for the Worcester school committee after ICE had driven away with the girl's mother, Rosane Ferreira de Oliveira, with a chaotic incident that had triggered several protests in Worcester.

In the video you can see several neighbors who confront with police and federal agents, while the daughters of Ferreira de Oliveira cry and alternately hold a young child. City Councilor Eter Haxhiaj holds the young girl before the girl was arrested, while the teenager holds her mother on the side mirror of the vehicle in which ice cream put her mother.

When Hanlon approaches the scene, the two daughters scream and cry while ice leads the mother to a non -marked SUV. According to reports, ICE allegedly attracted the wife of her house with her family members and claimed that she had to take custody for her grandchild before she held her.

Hanlon first tries to calm the crowd and tell them that they should “stop” before they walk behind ice.

“It's ice. They take a mother and everyone freaks out about it,” Hanlon says in his film material. “You have the jurisdiction to try to get you out of here, and now everyone is standing in front of the car.”

At some point he gives Haxhiaj's name and grabs the city councilor when she tries to pack the mother of ICE agent. “You will explain it,” he tells the daughters. Neighbors and Haxhiaj tell him that ice cream does not and that ice cream has not created an arrest warrant.

“I don't support anyone,” says Hanlon when someone tells him that he helps ice cream. “You have the responsibility.”

In McGuirk's videos she seems to push Haxhiaj out of the car and from the older daughter who is the child's mother. The youthful girl, whose face is blurry, is then seen how she takes the child from her sister and stands in front of the non -marked ice cream truck.

“Think of the child, okay? This is a baby. You endanger a baby,” says McGuirk will say to the teenager who cries. It is unclear from the video when the daughters understand English. The teenager then gives the baby someone else and speaks in Portuguese. At some point she grabs the hood of the vehicle.

A few minutes later, when the vehicle withdraws, McGuirk runs to the screaming teenager when it is captured by humans who are apparently ice agents. McGuirk and another officer then hold the girl's hands behind her back and push them down onto the street to captivate them. McGuirk is leaving the teenager from the scene and she speaks to a translator.

The youthful girl was charged with ruthless threat to a child who worried peace, the disordered behavior and resistance to the arrest, but Batista said on Friday that the police authority asked for the dismissal of these charges. Your identity was not published.

“However, it is important to emphasize that the attacks or an order of the law enforcement officers is never acceptable when fulfilling their duties,” said police chief Paul Saucier about throwing the charges. “The Worcester police department is still obliged to fulfill our responsibility to protect all residents of the city of Worcester.”

Spring was also seen on the body camera film material. She was not guilty of arranging charges such as assault and battery against a police officer with a dangerous weapon, and referred to the “unknown liquid” that she allegedly sprayed on her. The incident did not appear on the body camera film material, but she said Vallejo that it was water.

Ice arrested Brazilian woman who is exposed to assault

Previously, the Department of Homeland had stated that ICE agent Ferreira de Oliveira, who was arrested in February by the Worcester police for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon against a pregnant victim. According to court files, Ferreira de Oliveira allegedly hit her pregnant daughter with a telephone charging cable, which caused visible models on her arm, the police wrote. She needed a Portuguese interpreter, it says in the court files.

Ferreira de Oliveira, originally from Brazil, was initially arrested on February 1st and did not think about it. According to court files, Ferreira de Oliveira appeared in court again in July. The Sheriff of Worcester County has been instructed to arrange her presence in the Wyatt detection Center in Rhode Island.

Since their arrest, hundreds of protests in Worcester have gathered against the actions of ICE in the city and the role of the Worcester police in the incident of May 8. At a city council meeting, which was moved to Zoom on the basis of “concerns of public security”, the number of residents blamed the measures of the police in the Eureka Street and referred to the report of the Ministry of Justice about the police from Worcester, in which the officials committed a large number of violations of civil rights.

Thomas Duffy, President of the Worcester Police Patrol Officers' Union, said in a statement that the Body camera film show shows that officials acted “compassionate and professional”. Duffy previously claimed that Haxhiaj attacked police officers at the scene.

“The treatment of our civil servants by crowd members with hostile intentions was dangerous and unacceptable,” wrote Duffy. “The officers of Worcester, who tried to compensate for an emotional situation, an actively resistant quantity and a chosen civil servant, whose example was for this amount of violently opposed to the police, used the reasonable amount of violence and discretion under the circumstances.”

Haxhiaj did not immediately answer a comment on Sunday evening.
