It's striking how Central Falls has turned over both the police report and the body camera footage and Pawtucket has (once again) dug in and refused to release the legally-required arrest report, and now somehow developed a novel legal theory that the report isn't subject to disclosure.
The Pawtucket police went into another city, tackled a man in his home, and seized his dog. Turned out, they had the wrong man.
Now, they refuse to talk about what happened & why they violated basic police protocol. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/29/m...

Last night the Judicial Nominating Commission submitted three names to Governor McKee for consideration as Presiding Justice of the Superior Court (a job that is about, among other things, the administration of courtrooms) and they did not ask any of the three applicants a single question.
Yesterday, ICE agents allegedly ran into the Garrahy courthouse with firearms and circumvented security.
This is yet another example of how ICE continues to terrorize Rhode Islanders who are simply, legally, going to court.
