You gotta hand it to em “WPD lets public safety chairwoman off on obvious DUI the same week the council votes against a police oversight board” would be a really good way to satirize a corrupt municipality

This bit though. Do you know how long 4 minutes is?! You’re given 4 minutes to find your license and then after 240 seconds of searching you provide… not your license?!?!?!

Of course the city would spin this as a result of all the “positive steps” the police have taken when in reality there has been zero accountability or corrective steps taken. www.worcesterma.gov/announcement...

The lieutenant who applied for criminal charges against me, explicitly offered ICE agent to press charges on their behalf against me for “punching” and “assaulting” ICE agents. His police report stated that I “punched” an ICE agent.

For local elected officials who are trying to understand how this trial connects to the national issues- this statement from the Trump administration makes it pretty clear that they know the actions of the WPD and silence of city leaders aids their work.

Thomas Duffy was in the building the whole time, had conversations with Gagne outside the courtroom, walked into the courtroom with the called witnesses and stared down the jurors with them (Gagne pretended to not know who he was) and now this, in the guardian... Yet judge barred him from the stand!

100%. Rosane Ferreira-De Oliveira came into the United States as an asylum seeker. Won her asylum case and was NOT the subject of DHS's abduction. They used her daughters and the infant to lure her, violentely and unlawfully detain her and spread lies about her.

The DHS assistant secretary has apparently forgotten that the woman they were attempting to abduct was legally present, not a criminal, and not violent. In fact, that characterization was based on lies DHS inserted into their own public statement, released days before WPD addressed the issue.

I’ll keep protecting my neighbors, until state sanctioned violence & kidnapping of immigrants ends. Local police aren’t exempt from the constitution.
Statement provided by Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the Department of Homeland to Spectrum News 1 on the jury conviction of former Worcester City Councilor Etel Haxhiaj on misdemeanor assault and battery of a police officer following an ICE immigration enforcement operation on Eureka Street in Worcester on 5/8/25:

“District Councilor for the City of Worcester Etel Haxhiaj pulled a political stunt and incited chaos by trying to obstruct law enforcement’s lawful arrest of a criminal illegal alien. It’s disgraceful that elected officials, like District Councilor Haxhiaj, are fighting to protect violent illegal aliens—in this case an illegal alien who assaulted a pregnant woman— over the safety of law-abiding Americans. This stunt by sanctuary lawmakers put the safety of our law enforcement agents at risk. ICE officers are facing a 1300% increase in assaults while carrying out arrests.” 

Haxhiaj was acquitted on the charge of interferring with a police officer.

On one side we have a dedicated community organizer with six months probation and on the other side we have a police dept spending two days showing us they collaborated with ICE, will do so in the future, don’t follow their own use of force policies, don’t know what de-escalation means don’t care

My family and I are overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and love we’ve received throughout this process. It was important that I publicly challenged systems of power that sustain each-other and hold police behavior to a different standard.  Prosecuting mothers for protecting mothers isn’t justice.

Nine months ago, federal agents kidnapped a member of our community, a mother and my constituent. They separated a family and inflicted irreparable harm. My heart breaks at the brutality being unleashed on our neighbors and many others held captive in detention camps. On May 8,  we did what ordinary people are doing across the country: we  stood between masked armed federal agents and a mother. The  murders of Keith Porter Jr, Renee Good, and Alex Pretti,  the killings and kidnappings of Black and brown immigrant neighbors, remind us who the real aggressors are.

Worcester’s leaders chose to vilify us, a community that responded with love. They remained silent and demanded no accountability when our police department violently arrested a traumatized 17-year-old. They enabled the Police Union’s bullying and blamed the community for the Worcester Police Department’s lack of preparation to de-escalate a situation that posed danger to unarmed civilians.  To date, there has been no public response on how the Worcester Police Department could have responded differently.

At every juncture, the justice system tried to  shame me into admitting something I did not do. The Clerk Magistrate argued that my behavior as an elected official should be held to a higher standard, while overlooking the conduct of the Worcester Police. My standard is protecting my constituents and Worcester Police should be held to the same constitutional standard as everyone.  The special prosecutor asked  that I repent by issuing a direct apology, in exchange for dropping the charges with probation.  I chose the truth. 
 
I have dedicated my life to building community and defending  people’s rights.  …

As @billshaner.bsky.social writes, this city punishes you for caring, and few people have been punished more than @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social . Make no mistake, it's to send a message to the rest of us that make their callousness clear with our caring. I, for one, am not going to stop.
