"A 13-year-old Everett boy arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents last week had a gun and a knife on him when apprehended, a Department of Homeland Security official claimed Monday. "Here are the facts: he posed a public safety threat with an extensive rap sheet including violent assault with a dangerous weapon, battery, breaking and entering, destruction of property. He was in possession of a firearm and 5-7 inch knife when arrested.""
"According to The Boston Globe, the boy was detained following an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department. His mother, Josiele Berto, told the Globe she received a call to pick her son up from the police station last Thursday and waited for about an hour and a half before learning he had been taken by ICE. "My world collapsed," Berto told the Globe in Portuguese. She said her son, a seventh-grader at Everett's Albert N. Parlin School, was ultimately transferred to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Virginia, where he reportedly slept on concrete using an aluminum sheet as a blanket."
ICE arrested a 13-year-old Everett boy who had a firearm and a 5–7-inch knife when apprehended. A Department of Homeland Security official alleged an extensive juvenile record including violent assault with a dangerous weapon, battery, breaking and entering, and destruction of property. Juvenile court records are not public, so it is unclear whether those offenses resulted in convictions. The boy was detained after contact with Everett Police and transferred to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Virginia. Reports indicate he slept on concrete using an aluminum sheet as a blanket and his family described being heartbroken.
