Worcester Indivisible's response to the 2-18-2026 NEPBA statement: The recent NEPBA Local 911 statement is not simply disappointing. It reflects a troubling effort to frame legitimate community concerns about policing, accountability, and public trust as hostility toward law enforcement.

Couple things stick in my mind. Just before they called ppl back in to hear the verdict, a court officer came out and gave the cops on the other side of the hall a big thumbs up. Then Gagne came out and did the same. Then they tried to let just the cops in, past the public, but got called on it

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.  …

Call it whatever. “I support them...What I don’t support is what ICE is right now in its current iteration. It is not fulfilling the mission it was set to fulfill.” “What needs to happen is that ICE needs to be pulled back right now and needs to be fixed. Call it reform. Call it whatever.”

As @billshaner.bsky.social notes in his reporting, ICE and #Worcester PD's actions separated a family that was in the country legally. And yet DA David Sullivan is bringing charges against community members who tried to stop the abduction instead of the people responsible for it.
Dozens of Worcester Police Department officers responded to the call. They yanked organizers off of the van after ICE agents stuffed the mother inside. As the SUV drove away to a destination unknown, her daughter ran after it. WPD officers tackled the daughter to the ground and handcuffed her. Their knees on her back, she lay on the pavement crying. 

Police pressed charges against the daughter — reckless child endangerment among others — then dropped them a few days later. Her mother would spend the next six months in ICE custody, shuffled between federal prisons in Rhode Island and New Hampshire before a judge approved the open asylum claim she’d had pending review. She is still in the country. During her detainment, two of her daughters went missing for separate stretches. One turned up in Brazil and the other — the one the police tackled and criminally charged — was put in the foster care system.

🚨🚨🚨Hegseth has now struck a boat belonging to the ELN guerrillas — bringing the US into a shooting war with group that has been fighting the Colombian govt since 1964! Meanwhile, Tump cut off aid to Colombia claiming President Petro was in league with traffickers.🙄 This is insanely dangerous!!!🚨🚨🚨
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth →©

On October 17th, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN), a Designated Terrorist Organization, that was operating in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility.
The vessel was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was traveling along a known narco-trafficking route, and was transporting substantial amounts of narcotics. There were three male narco-terrorists aboard the vessel during the strike—which was conducted in international waters. All three terrorists were killed and no U.S. forces were harmed in this strike.
These cartels are the Al Qaeda of the Western Hemisphere, using violence, murder and terrorism to impose their will, threaten our national security and poison our people. The United States military will treat these organizations like the terrorists they are-they will be hunted, and killed, just like Al Qaeda.

According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.
Post from Donald Trump on Truth Social:

A really deadly weekend in Chicago. 6 dead, 27 hurt in crime sprees all over the city. Panic stricken Governor Pritzker says that crime is under control, when in fact it is just the opposite. He is an incompetent governor who should call me for help. Mayor Johnson is no better. Make Chicago great again!
