Hernan Escobar was on his way to work when ICE agents sideswiped his car, shattered his window, and refused to identify themselves.

Like so many in Malden, I am disgusted that this systematic terror has made its way into our community. We will get answers, and we will get justice.

We are nearing the 12 month mark where we will be able to take back the house and senate. Not ideal but I think it’s important to focus on getting democrats and Independents fired up to vote in the midterms to stop this insanity and rid ourselves of this entire admin. #VoteBlueInMidterms
