Worcester City Council moved to Zoom citing "public safety concerns," which residents criticized in a rocky remote meeting Tuesday night.

Prior to arresting a Brazilian woman on the streets of Worcester last week, federal immigration agents used her family members as “bait” to draw her out of her home so that they could arrest her, according to an exclusive report from Rolling Stone Magazine.

Worcester officials are facing “threats of violence” after ICE arrested a criminal illegal alien accused of assaulting her pregnant 16-year-old daughter, according to Mayor Joseph Petty. Petty decided to close City Hall and instead call for a virtual City Council meeting on Tuesday because of safety concerns that have arisen in the aftermath of last week’s chaotic altercation between activists and law enforcement.
