ICE Arrest of Milford Student Sparks Debate on Sanctuary Policies

Milford, MA: ICE clarifies arrest of high school student. Federal immigration officials stated that the arrest of an 18-year-old Milford High School student on Saturday was a case of mistaken identity. ICE agents were actually targeting the student's father. "He was not the target of the investigation," said Patricia Hyde, field director of ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations in Boston. However, she added, "He's unlawfully in this country." The incident has sparked debate regarding sanctuary policies and immigration enforcement procedures. The student's arrest, while unintended, underscores the challenges faced by both ICE and local communities.
