ICE conducts raids in Boston, dozens arrested

Federal immigration agents conducted raids across Boston and nearby communities over the weekend, arresting dozens of people, according to a spokesperson for the department of homeland security. The move came as the justice department filed suit against the city and its mayor. Local officials have rejected the federal operations as authoritarian overreach. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said those taken into custody included individuals accused of sexual assault, drug trafficking and gang activity who had been released from jails.
