ICE announces Milford high schooler update
BOSTON (WWLP) – The US Attorney's office and ICE officials held a press conference on Monday, providing updates on their activity in the Bay State, and on the recent arrest of a Milford high school junior. The update comes as ICE has ramped up their detainment efforts exponentially over the last several months, making headlines as nearly 1,500 known criminals and honors students alike are taken into custody. US Attorney Leah Foley says ICE is carrying out their duties, and threatened those who try to interfere with prosecution. 'These are defendants who didn't simply cross a border, they crossed a line and jeopardized the safety of Massachusetts communities,' said Foley. ICE officials were asked about the whereabouts of an 18-year-old Milford high schooler who was detained on the way to volleyball practice this weekend. They declined to disclose where he is being held, but clarified that the target of their investigation was the student's father, and while the student has no criminal record, he was detained for residing in the United States illegally. 'Like, I didn't say he was dangerous. I said he is in this country illegally. And we're not gonna walk away from anybody,' said ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons. Governor Healey sees the detainment of the Milford high schooler differently. She says despite her requests, ICE has not provided her with more information. 'Unless ICE has additional information that would substantiate that this individual had some criminal involvement, he should be released,' Healey said. ICE officials emphasized that they will be arresting all individuals who are in the country illegally that they come across while searching for specific people, regardless of any criminal activity.

Students and staff protest closure of Westover Job Corps
CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – Hundreds of students and staff are protesting for their future after it was announced that a Chicopee facility is closing its doors. The Labor Department has ordered Job Corps centers nationwide to pause all operations, but students and staff say this center has become their second chance at life. Job Corps is a program under the Labor Department that offers free education and vocational training to people ages 16 to 24. DHS targets sanctuary cities including Springfield and Holyoke A majority of participants come from low-income or homeless backgrounds. According to the National Job Corps Association, the graduation rate for students is 60%. They said previously, the Labor Department released a transparency report falsely claiming it was 38%. Currently, Job Corps students are being hired in several industries, like medical and automobile, and furthering their current careers. However, the U.S. Department of Labor claims the centers are 'no longer achieving their intended outcomes.' 'Before I came here, I was in the street getting into illegal activity, I was depressed,' said Alejandro Rodriguez, a student at Westover Job Corps. 'When I found out about Job Corps, it was a way out from everything. I never had staff or a group of people who told me, 'We believe in you, we're going to see you do better.'' The center in Chicopee has more than 350 students and 170 staff members. There are currently around 120 Job Corps centers nationwide, and 99 of them are run by the Labor Department. The others are under the Agriculture Department and won't be impacted. Those impacted are being asked to pause all operations by the end of the month. Union representatives are now fighting to save the center for both staff and students.

Coburn Elementary teachers host ‘Inflatable Race'
WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – Teachers in West Springfield traded in their grade books for some good old-fashioned fun on Monday. Amherst Regional Middle School appoints new principal Coburn Elementary School teachers had a change in uniform on Monday, dressing up in inflatable costumes and racing each other on the field– and the students loved it. This is the first time Coburn Elementary has hosted an 'Inflatable Race.' From T-Rexes to unicorns, each one of them put their best sprint to the test. Students were shocked to see their teachers in disguise. 'The kids do not know what the teachers are dressing up as, this is like a surprise for them,' said paraprofessional Reina Seda. 'They know about the race, not about who's running.' This serves as the countdown to summer vacation for Coburn Elementary. 22News asked staff at the school what inspired them to put on this event, and they said it was just to spend time with the students before the end of the school year. And no doubt about it, it was a hit. WWLP-22News, an NBC affiliate, began broadcasting in March 1953 to provide local news, network, syndicated, and local programming to western Massachusetts.
