They were on the way to early morning volleyball practice Saturday morning. And Trump's immigration agents pulled them over and they arrested this kid, Marcelo. Again, he is a high school junior. They said they weren't after him. They said they were looking for somebody else. But they took him. This is a kid with... No criminal record at all.

He is not known to have ever been in any kind of trouble at all. Again, he is a high school junior honors student on the volleyball team and in the high school band. They took him. They've taken him to an immigration prison all alone. They reportedly are trying to move him now to another immigration prison that is farther from home.

He does have a lawyer arguing for him to try to get him before a federal judge to try to get him out. But that is who Trump's agents took on Saturday morning in Milford, Massachusetts. Saturday morning is when they arrested him. Sunday morning, it was graduation day at Milford High School.

And at the graduation ceremony in Milford, Sunday morning, the valedictorian spoke and the class president spoke. And then as soon as the ceremony was over, the whole school marched straight from the graduation ceremony over to the Milford Town Hall to go protest, to try to get Marcelo back.

It's not a common thing to see kids in their graduation gowns at a protest, right? But that's what happened this weekend, yesterday morning. Graduating seniors, tons of kids from all the schools in town, parents, teachers, the whole town basically turned out. They held these signs that said, he belongs here and hands off our kids.

The local Democratic state senator, her name is Becca Rauch, she was there. She spoke to the crowd. The local Democratic congressman, Jake Ochenkloss, was there. That was Milford, Massachusetts this weekend. may remember from a couple of weeks ago, that really, really chaotic scene that unfolded in Newark, New Jersey. Do you remember at the gates of the immigration prison in Newark?

That was the, you know, pushing and shoving and this real chaos. That's when they arrested the mayor of Newark, New Jersey before they later dropped charges against him. They manhandled all those members of Congress. Ultimately later, they arrested one of those members of Congress, LaMonica McIver.

Do you remember just the scenes of what that looked like, just the kinetic activity there, how chaotic and out of control that scene was, how the law enforcement guys just seemed totally out of their depth? Law enforcement clearly did not know what they were doing, clearly just winging it.

They were obviously scared and confused, many of them masked, very, very much overarmed, but they didn't clearly have any idea what to do. And that made the whole scene like a thousand times more dangerous and chaotic than it ever should have been.

Those totally out-of-their-depth federal agents at that shameful scene in Newark, those guys who really appeared to be panicked and completely untrained for what they were doing there, they are federal agents from an agency called HSI, Homeland Security Investigations.

And if you start looking, when you see scenes like this anywhere in the country right now, you will often see HSI as the logo, if you see any logo at all, on the uniforms or on the patches of these agents. Now, HSI is supposed to be like investigating smuggling rings. They are not an agency that is trained for policing protests or doing crowd control or anything like that.
