Upton MA is a suburban town in Central Massachusetts with a good sized pond within the town limits. It must also have some illegal aliens and some sanctuary activists within the the town too.
The unidentified motorist’s failure to put her car in park sent the SUV rolling into Pratt Pond next to the cemetery in Upton, police said.
“That sucks,” an ICE officer can be heard saying on the video.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were actively arresting a suspect that day, Sept. 8, as part of Operation Patriot 2.0, the Trump Administration’s name for their newest surge in immigration enforcement in the Bay State.
Upton police said the driver saw two ICE vehicles stopping an illegal immigrant, and she pulled her SUV over, jumped out without putting it in gear.
The fire department had to tow it out, police added, and she was cited for unsafe operation of a vehicle. Upton police have yet to release the driver’s name.
The video shows her car mostly submerged after rolling down an embankment into a pond located at Lakeview Cemetery.
I guess everyone learned some kind of lesson that day. Even the fish in the pond.
Karma? No Carma!
I guess I’m a bad guy. But I thought this was hilarious.
Upton is a fairly nice suburb southwest of Worcester Ma. It is near Hopkinton (start of the Boston Marathon). Likely that’s at Kiwanis Beach on Pratt Pond. I think that bit of video is from like May or June as it was on local news. Looks like our Karen wannabe stopped her car on a boat ramp and didn’t put the car in Park or set the parking brake. Oops… What ICE was doing (or who they were after) beats me. Admittedly many cities/towns have declared themselves sanctuary cities in a fit of pointless virtue signalling akin to Cambridge MA… Read more »
Tregonsee, I used to be located not too far from there. I remember whenever I was on the Hopkinton/Upton line I’d see a place called the Hop-Up Farm. But I guess the ICE agents are using driver’s license information to find illegals driving around. Yeah, putting the car in park really is a good idea.
There’s a reason for putting it in park or using the parking brake? Who knew? The tragedy!
If ICE is reduced to looking for one or two illegals, I have a suggestion. Spend some time in Canton, Ga, a northern Atlanta Metro burb. The entire town is filled with thousands on thousands of illegals.
It does make you wonder how they’re assigning limited resources to this enormous problem. And I do understand the valuable result of annoying progressives in blue states. But you also have to wonder if there are any corporate favors being done by looking the other way on illegals who work at big companies for low wages.
