ICE is out in East Somerville and the streets are noticeably silent. Multiple East Somerville residents have been detained by ICE in the last two weeks. No one has been charged with any crimes and some even held a protected status. We are uncertain about the exact number because some cases may be unreported by the community, giving ICE time to quickly move people out of state to be processed for expedited deportation. The city is working with Greater Boston Legal Services and the ACLU to provide legal assistance to our residents.
