Overview
- Immigration agents detained six women and three men at Allston Car Wash on Tuesday, according to local reports and court filings.
- DHS said the targeted operation led to nine arrests, including one person accused of felony illegal reentry, and described the group as recent entrants, border gotaways, an earlier unlawful entry, and a visa overstay.
- Attorney Todd Pomerleau said only seven detainees have been located, listing placements in Burlington, the Plymouth County Correctional Facility, and the Strafford County Department of Corrections, while others do not appear in ICE’s online locator.
- Pomerleau reported that at least two clients were denied food and phone access for two days at the Burlington facility, and ICE did not respond to questions about detainee treatment.
- More than 100 residents and local officials gathered for a LUCE-organized vigil that has raised over $20,000 for families, as local leaders said some workers could not retrieve documents stored in lockers during the arrests.
