On May 4, Waltham City Councilor Colleen Bradley-MacArthur observed ICE operations in her city, initiated by a local volunteer group's alert. Expecting minimal activity, she instead encountered multiple federal agents in tactical gear, blocking Felton Street and detaining individuals. Despite her training, she felt fear while documenting the scene. The situation escalated as a young boy was left alone after agents took his companion away. The incident raised alarms about the emotional impact on children witnessing such arrests and the community's role in monitoring immigration enforcement.
"I couldn't believe that they just left him there. I can't imagine what kind of trauma he'll have from seeing that."
"None of them answered her questions, but she kept filming. The federal agents were there for what felt like an eternity, but all of a sudden they got in their cars and drove off."
