""The trauma of that day continues to affect every aspect of my life," José Pablo Henriquez Sagastume, a 20-year-old Allston Car Wash worker who was detained that day, said in a statement. "We were just doing our jobs when armed officers surrounded us and treated us like criminals. No one cared who we were. No one asked anything before grabbing me.""
"The FTCA complaint filed Wednesday details how the arrests occurred on the morning of Nov. 4. Just after 10 a.m., ICE agents in about 20 vehicles surrounded the business on Cambridge Street in a 'massive show of force.' Most of the agents wore masks and tactical gear."
Seven workers detained during an ICE raid at a car wash in Allston last year filed a complaint alleging severe physical, emotional, and psychological harm. The complaint, under the Federal Tort Claims Act, seeks $1 million in damages for each worker. One detained worker described the traumatic experience, stating they were treated like criminals while simply doing their jobs. The raid, part of a broader enforcement strategy, sparked public outrage and allegations of inhumane treatment during detention.
