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.

1. Child endangerment.

Leaving a minor child on the street with no adult present.

So if Americans start interfering do they get sent to the death camps too?

10. And witness endangerment

Aiming a car at her on the sidewalk? I hope she files a complaint.

12. Yes, targeting witnesses and those who complain.

This will not end well.

2. Poor kid. Must be traumatized

3. So wrong on so many levels.

4. This is the 2nd time I've heard of such an incident. They don't even bother calling child protective services??

So if something happens to a child, left alone, after they arrest their parent/guardian, then what??
This is pure evil. Anyone that is OK with this is pure evil.

5. Frankly if it was my 12 year old, I'd rather they left him on the street...

because he was resourceful enough to find his way home, or to a friend’s house; and I DON’T TRUST these people to keep a kid safe and be kind.
I feel very sorry for the kid, and I despise these agents for being so willing to do evil, but I also don’t think the detention centers they set up for the kids are safe either.

6. Inhuman monsters. All of them.

Poor guy. I hope he has some safety as he navigates this heinous loss.

7. I read in the top link that the boy DID get home. Thank goodness!

Neighborhood Watch volunteers were able to get the boy home safely.

Volunteer walked boy home

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.

So glad AND relieved to read that the boy got home - after being ABANDONED for the sake of arresting the person he was with.

Honest to Pete...

11. The Felon's goons

are J-6 Insurrectionists, that's why they have masks on.

Call them J-6'ers. Out to intimidate and put fear in people.


Massachusetts of all places, Bostonians can take them down.

13. Two person teams needed. One to pull these monster's masks off and

another to photograph them. Let's not let ICE thugs remain hidden.
