What we found

Supports. The ICE.gov release published January 24, 2025 states that ICE officers from ERO Boston arrested Charles in Boston on Jan. 22.[1]

Supports. The DHS statement says ERO Boston arrested Charles on January 22, 2025, in Mattapan, Massachusetts, a Boston neighborhood.[2]

Context. The poster's account of having witnessed the arrest is not independently verified by the sources, but the claim's core assertion (the arrest, date, and city) is supported.
