BU College Republicans president says he called ICE to 'detain these criminals' at Allston Car Wash

The president of Boston University College Republicans wrote on X he called the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement requesting it detain employees at Allston Car Wash, the site of a Nov. 4 raid where nine employees were arrested.

… snip …

“As someone who lives in the neighborhood, I’ve seen how American jobs are being given away to those with no right to be here. Pump up the numbers!” Segal’s post concludes.

BUCR did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday morning.

The nine detained employees all had work permits, Allston Car Wash Manager Jose Barrera told Boston.com.

Barrera said around 22 federal agents arrived at the Cambridge Street car wash holding subpoenas, but agents began arresting employees before they could retrieve their documents from the locker room, Barrera told Boston.com.

- rushed out to acquire one of those jobs and advised the members of BUCR to do likewise, good, god fearing, American patriot that he is and they are!

He doesn't deserve to walk the halls where Martin Luther King Jr. walked.

The good news is that his gloating admission could mean a hefty lawsuit.

That and perhaps a little taste of the Golden Rule should make the rest of his college career quite pleasant.


UPDATE:

He himself is an immigrant: born in the UK, coming here for college, and now a junior.

I have edited this because it's not clear that he's even a US citizen -- but if not, that will come out in time. If he's deportable, I hope he gets kicked out for calling in false crimes.

I'm seeing very careful language about whether or not he's a citizen, so I'll be editing my comments here.

He was born in Britain, went to school there through, competed as a cross country runner for some national competition, and came to the US where he's a junior. So..."immigrant" is certainly accurate.

As of today, there seems to be a "manhunt" of sorts on the BU campus. The lawyer for the abductees is speaking out; several have been released, others are still captive.
