From Breitbart: Police are calling for an official investigation and charges against a city councilwoman for allegedly assaulting officers and inciting a violent mob trying to stop the arrest of an illegal alien criminal suspect in Worcester, Massachusetts.
It is another in a slew of incidents where government officials have stepped in to try to block immigration enforcement as the Trump administration cracks down on aliens with criminal records in the U.S.
A local police union argued over the weekend that Etel Haxhiaj, who represents Worcester’s District 5, helped incite the mob into assaulting ICE officers and cops during the Department of Homeland Security operation that escalated out of control Friday. The Worcester Police Patrolman’s Union made the allegations in a statement released Saturday.
The protest by more than two dozen bystanders chanting “no warrant!” and “not the mother!” resulted after authorities came to arrest Ferreira de Oliveira. She is an illegal alien whom local police recently arrested for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and assault and battery on a pregnant victim, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
It was unclear how many of the bystanders were just a spontaneous outpouring of “neighbors,” as some news outlets reported, or if the gathering was engineered by anti-deportation activists who got a heads up on the apprehension operation.
Haxhiaj is a self-admitted progressive and pro-Palestinian activist. Included on the description of her Instagram account are the lines, “Housing is a right. Climate justice.”
Haxhiaj is the shorter woman in the light blue shirt seen in the video confronting the officers.

Below is a longer video of the wild melee, as a huge mob of people swarmed the ICE agents and tried to prevent them from taking the illegal alien woman away.
“I’m trying to project my constituents!” Haxhiaj claimed, as she argued with an officer while defending the illegal alien.
