Detention center captain drove pickup truck through ICE protesters -- 5 taken to the hospital: report

Several protesters were injured after they were assaulted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center worker while exercising their First Amendment rights.

“A captain at a detention center here was placed on leave Thursday after he allegedly drove his pickup truck into a crowd and injured several people who were protesting the prison’s practice of holding detainees for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement,” the Boston Globe reported Thursday. “People scrambled and screamed as Captain Thomas Woodworth allegedly honked his horn around 10 p.m. and drove at the group blocking the staff parking lot at the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Center.”

he honked his horn first. Don't you see? The people in his way were at fault, of course.

or some other felony.

Yes, the driver will claim some kind of qualified immunity but if he does, that should lead to some interesting investigation into what ICE ordered or trained him to do.

This should be front-page news. The group run over was Never Again Action, which, according to CNN, is "a collection of Jewish people and their allies protesting ICE and the government's treatment of migrants."
