I watched ICE take someone off the street in Waltham today. I’m still shook
I was walking my dog in Waltham when I noticed an unusual number of people sitting in parked cars. A few seconds later, several people got out of unmarked vehicles, surrounded a man, put him into a vehicle, and drove away with his car.
It happened unbelievably fast. Some of them were masked. The man kept yelling, “What happened? What happened?” He sounded terrified and confused.
I stood there recording because I genuinely didn’t understand what I was watching until I heard his accent and saw ICE on their backs.
I spoke to his cousin afterward. He told me the man had been on his way to home depot to get supplies for a construction project. He has a family.
I don’t know what I could have done. I just watched someone get taken off the street in broad daylight by masked people in unmarked vehicles and went mute.. it’s fucking with me. What could I have done? This is terrible.
