ICE Leaves 12-Year-Old Alone After Detaining Adult: Video Sparks Outrage

A 12-year-old boy was left alone in Waltham, Massachusetts, after ICE agents detained the adult he was with. The incident, captured on video by a bystander, sparked outrage and raised questions about the agency's policies. "It's unacceptable that a child was left alone in this situation," said Sasha Tirador, a commentator on the video. The video clip from CBS Boston shows the boy standing alone while an ICE officer is seen on the phone nearby. The incident occurred in early May 2025 and has generated significant online discussion regarding the treatment of undocumented immigrants and children. The lack of information about the detained adult adds to the concerns surrounding the case. The video highlights the emotional distress caused by such actions and the need for improved policies to protect children in similar situations. The video's popularity and the author's commentary on the issue suggest a high level of public concern and the need for further investigation and discussion.
