ICE conducted an operation in Lowell, arresting eleven workers from an unnamed roofing company as part of a focus on suspected unauthorized hiring practices. The crackdown reflects a rising wave of ICE activities in Massachusetts, especially following Boston's sanctuary policies. Operations also extended to East Boston, where additional arrests were made. Local backlash has been significant, with protests erupting in response to high-profile arrests. Governor Maura Healey criticized the lack of due process in these immigration enforcement actions, highlighting community concerns over security and fairness.
