The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Massachusetts City Council members “incited chaos” when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested violent criminal illegal foreigners on Thursday.
"The district councillors in Haxhiaj, Worcester City (Etel) have stoked political stunts by trying to stop law enforcement and incited chaos. Ice officials and local police regained control of the situation, and Ice arrested Ferreira de Oliveira," said Assistant Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin. "The last administration's open border policy allowed the criminal to enter our country illegally in August 2022. Thanks to President Trump and Secretary Nome, the criminal was right in our streets."
The Department of Homeland Security continues to describe Oliveira as a “violent crime alien.” The agency said she was arrested by local police for beating and beating pregnant women with dangerous weapons.
The nervous video appeared on the weekend of Oliveira's arrest. A noisy crowd of about 25 people gathered and destroyed the operation. Police called it a "chaotic incident."

The video shows a group of residents shouting “Don’t bring their mother” and “no warrants” and a woman is brought into the SUV by unified ice, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents. Before the vehicle was pulled away, other women were seen placing their hands on the front cover of the SUV and screaming in protest.
The Worcester Police Patrol Staff Union said in a press release that the incident occurred around 11:15 a.m. Thursday, when police were dispatched to calls from federal law enforcement officers who needed assistance due to hostile and uncooperative crowds.
"As the scene continues to escalate rapidly, officers arriving at the scene continue to call for more officers," the coalition said. "The police respond to various highly emotional calls every day, and nothing is more emotional or difficult to deal with than when families are separated, arrested or detained before other family members. These types of calls for aid can be very dangerous and are highly harmed by people's high emotions at the time."

All available police officers in Worcester were sent to the scene, and the union continued, with police concerned about their safety “for obvious reasons.”
The coalition said federal and local authorities were "threatened, abused and even attacked" at the scene.
"This behavior cannot be tolerated or tolerated. As some protesters threaten the safety of the police, the police had to make additional arrests," the union said. "In this case, it is particularly concerned that one of our elected policymakers and the one who created this difficult task for the police, District 5 Councilman Etel Haxhiaj incited aggression against the police at the time of the incident.
The union added: “The MP participated in the conduct of unruly people and eventually attacked Worcester police and federal law enforcement officers. “The anti-political activist MP’s behavior was pathetic and unacceptable. Regardless of political views or opinions, city officials should not condone the attacks of officials, and ignore the violent opposition, and the authority of the police maintains security and public order. ”

As a result, the union said it called for a moral investigation into Haksia's behavior, adding that it would leave her and others responsible for assaults on her officers.
"No one has the right to act against police in this reckless way, and we demand responsibility for all criminal and morally pathetic behavior," the union said.
Haxhiaj did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment on the matter.
