In this case, the employee was Election Commissioner Eneida Tavares, and the date requested was Election Day in November.

    U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations are prompting responses from community members across Massachusetts, including in Waltham, where an agent was recorded smashing a van window Tuesday. A video taken by 16-year-old Milene Herrera while waiting for her bus to school showed ICE agents breaking the window, then arresting two men in downtown Waltham after they seemingly ignored the agents' orders.
