Student Republican Faces Backlash After Calling ICE on Car Wash
A Boston University College Republicans chapter president is facing criticism for allegedly initiating calls to immigration authorities, leading to the detention of nine workers at a car wash. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed an immigration operation in Allston resulting in arrests, though it did not confirm whether the calls played a role. However, the detained individuals’ lawyer asserts that his clients possess valid legal statuses and work permits, with the arrests lacking proper due process. Legal challenges are underway, and community members have expressed support for the detainees, highlighting the ongoing debate surrounding immigration enforcement.
