Body Camera Video Shows Police Respond to "Chaotic" ICE Operation

  • On May 8, Worcester police recorded body camera footage while federal agents detained Brazilian woman Rosane Ferreira-De Oliveira amid a crowd on Eureka Street.
  • The detention followed federal immigration enforcement procedures but sparked a protest as demonstrators attempted to block the agents, escalating tensions in the city.
  • Worcester police arrested two protesters, including a 16-year-old girl and a school committee candidate, while officials affirmed the police do not assist ICE with immigration detentions.
  • City Manager Eric Batista announced that the initial set of over 550 minutes of unredacted bodycam footage would be made public as part of a phased release.
  • The incident has led to public rallies and threats against officials, prompting an executive order restricting city resources from immigration enforcement and calls to dismiss charges against the juvenile arrested.
