Martha's Vineyard residents fume over arrests of illegal immigrants in liberal enclave
Martha's Vineyard residents are unhappy with the Trump administration deporting illegal immigrants from their liberal enclave, The Washington Post reported this week. The community has been reeling since Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officers arrested dozens of illegal immigrants in a recent raid, according to the report. "It's bullying," one Martha's Vineyard resident, Charlie Giordano, told the Post. "I don't know how many are illegal or legal, I don't give a s---. But I do care about how they're treated." Trump Admin Asks Scotus To Authorize Rapid Migrant Deportations To Countries Other Than Their Own The Washington Post's story on the Martha's Vineyard ICE raid comes as the federal law enforcement agency has been the focus of riots in downtown Los Angeles for the past several days. ICE agents carried out operations at businesses across Los Angeles on Friday, sparking protests and clashes outside multiple locations that grew so chaotic that President Donald Trump ordered National Guard troops into the city, followed by several hundred U.S. Marines, to restore order. Some California officials, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, have accused the administration of exacerbating the situation. Read On The Fox News App As the Post reported, ICE agents performed a massive sting throughout Massachusetts in late May that resulted in nearly 1,500 arrests. Forty of those arrests happened on the two islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. Rioters Smash Windows At Lapd Headquarters As Anti-ice Agitators Clash With Authorities The arrests have ignited "fear among undocumented workers who form the backbone of the workforce here just as the busy summer season gets underway," the outlet reported. "After the raid, many immigrants panicked and shuttered themselves indoors. Many spoke to The Washington Post only on the condition of anonymity because they fear being targeted the next time ICE arrives on the island. They recounted taking extraordinary measures that day and in the week after to protect themselves," the Post said, adding that the liberal community on the island had been shaken as well. "The arrests hit a nerve in a liberal enclave known for welcoming everyone: presidents — former president Barack Obama has an oceanfront property here — LGBTQ+ activists, racial minorities, celebrities and a large cluster of immigrants from Brazil," the paper noted. One Brazilian resident, who admitted to the Post he is undocumented, warned that the local economy will crater because of the arrests and deportations. California Lt. Governor Says Los Angeles Riots Are 'Generated By Donald Trump' The anonymous man, who also owns three businesses in Martha's Vineyard, said, "The money is just going to stop flowing. The U.S. is only losing in pushing us out." The Island has become a safe haven for many illegal immigrants from Brazil in recent decades as they fled their home country due to hyperinflation and other economic problems. According to the outlet, many came over on work or tourist visas, but ended up staying in the country. The Post reported that these immigrants "established businesses offering food and cleaning services that are now crucial to daily life in a resort town. Today there are few restaurant menus here that don't offer Brazilian-inspired options like croquettes or traditional cheesy bread." It noted just how prevalent the Portuguese language is within the community as well. An anonymous Brazilian woman, who owns a business and has raised three children on the island, told the paper, "The American people love us because we work so hard to help the community prosper and grow." "This was a safe place," she added. Click Here For More Coverage Of Media And Culture Residents said that the recent arrests "felt arbitrary and included valued community members who had committed no crime," according to the Post. A Brazilian pastor on the island told the outlet, "ICE would come here to get criminals and that is good. But the way they did it now, that was not it." However, the paper acknowledged ICE's recent statement disputing those claims. According to the agency, more than half of all the illegal immigrants detained in Massachusetts last month had a criminal record. ICE did not immediately reply to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Martha's Vineyard was at the center of the nation's immigration debate in 2022, when Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered 50 illegal immigrants detained in Florida to be flown to the island.

Ex-sheriff Victor Hill plans to run against Rep. Nikema Williams in Democratic primary
Former Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill announced on Tuesday night that he plans to run for Congress. Hill, who was released from federal prison last year, said he will challenge Georgia Rep. Nikema Williams in the 2026 Democratic primary. Williams, who succeeded the late Rep. John Lewis in Georgia's 5th Congressional District, was re-elected in Nov. 2024. Hill said he was encouraged to consider a congressional run by his fellow inmates at Forrest City Federal Correctional Institution in Arkansas. 'They also became my political advisors.. it was their idea,' said Hill in the announcement on his podcast. 'They are the ones who told me that hey, a convicted felon can run for Congress.' [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Hill served as Clayton County Sheriff for nearly 15 years before he was found guilty of using unreasonable force and violating inmates' constitutional rights in 2022. Jurors found that Hill caused physical pain and bodily injury to six men by strapping them down and leaving them in restraint chairs inside the Clayton County Jail, sometimes for hours. After his guilty verdict, the state revoked Hill's law enforcement certification. Under Georgia law and POST rules, an officer is not allowed to continue in that capacity with a felony conviction. Hill served 18 months in federal prison before he was released in 2024. A felon convicted in federal court can run for Congress. RELATED STORIES: Former Clayton Co.
