Governor Healey Demands Answers After Student’s Arrest by ICE
Milford, MA – Governor Maura Healey expressed her outrage following the arrest of an 18-year-old Milford High School student by ICE agents before volleyball practice. In a statement on Sunday, Healey criticized the lack of communication from federal agents, stating that local officials were left uninformed about the situation.
"He was taken without warning or explanation, and I demand immediate answers regarding his arrest and the protection of his rights," she said. Healey emphasized the need for ICE to clarify the reasons behind the arrest, the student’s current whereabouts, and how his due process rights are being upheld.
The governor lamented that the federal government’s crackdown on immigrants fosters fear and insecurity in communities. "This situation is not helping; it only makes us less safe," she stated, referring to the ongoing policies of the Trump Administration.
On the day of his high school graduation, Milford students have organized a march to protest their classmate’s detention, underscoring the tensions surrounding immigration enforcement in Massachusetts.
Governor Healey’s call for transparency and accountability from federal officials reflects the growing concerns over the treatment of immigrant students in schools.
