    A) ICE had to call the local PD to bail them out. That’s significant, as it shows the government doesn’t have the manpower to maintain their terror campaign without local support.

    B) The City Manager’s statement doesn’t seem to condemn the crowd at all. The statement (or at least what’s quoted) only criticizes ICE. Given that about 25 citizens were ready to throw hands at federal agents, that feels huge.

    C) Worcester has a statue of a guy fucking a turtle in the center of town. Not relevant to the story, but I have to bring it up whenever Worcester is in the news. I hope you enjoy it (though the turtle clearly didn’t).
