A day after officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claimed that a 13-year-old from Everett arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had a gun and a knife, the Everett mayor clarified the 13-year-old did not have a gun when he was apprehended.
The 13-year-old, whose family is from Brazil, was transferred to a juvenile facility in Virginia on Friday morning, according to attorney Andrew Lattarulo.
ICE arrested the boy after an interaction with the Everett Police Department, the Boston Globe reported . He was brought to the police station and later taken into custody by ICE.
