Police say two people were arrested when a crowd of people tried to interfere with an ICE operation in Worcester on Thursday. The incident has generated a lot of anger in the city.
"We were all asking for a warrant, they didn't answer at first, and then eventually just said this is a warrantless arrest when they were shoving them into the vehicle," said witness David Webb.
Worcester police say they moved in to deescalate the situation, but the response has outraged the community, some saying they question which side the police were on.
-------------------------------------------------
"We saw both federal and Worcester officers descend on a family with a level of aggression that you would use when apprehending someone who is known to be dangerous and carrying weapons," said Fred Taylor of the Worcester NAACP.
"Our local police is not tasked to protect ICE, they're here to protect the people and they should behave that way," Taylor said.
It is not clear who the arrested woman is or where she was taken.
