In a notable development, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has apprehended Emelio Neftaly Pineda, the brother of an activist opposing ICE operations in Massachusetts. According to reliable federal sources, Pineda has a history of deportation, having been removed from the country twice before. Originally from El Salvador, Pineda’s criminal record includes multiple offenses such as domestic assault, DUI, and violations of restraining orders.
His sister, Lucy Pineda, leads the activist group, Latinos Unidos en Massachusetts (LUMA), which has gained attention for its aggressive tactics, including doxing ICE officials and obstructing their operations. As protests against ICE and immigration enforcement escalate across the nation, including significant unrest in cities like Los Angeles, the situation remains tense. In response to the turmoil, President Trump has dispatched both the National Guard and Marines to restore public order.
With protests also reported in places like Seattle and New York City, tensions between law enforcement and demonstrators continue to rise. Fox News has sought a statement from Lucy Pineda regarding her brother’s arrest.
