On the fourth day of the New Bedford’s response to the historic snowfall, hundreds of side streets and thousands of residents were still awaiting resources to come dig them out — or have resorted to digging themselves out. The Mitchell administration had said in official statements that it was awaiting a “pending” request for aid sent to the National Guard.

On April 14, 2025, Juan Francisco Méndez, a Guatemalan immigrant seeking asylum, was detained by ICE agents in New Bedford, Massachusetts, in a dramatic arrest captured on video. While driving with his wife, Marilú Domingo Ortiz, to a dental appointment, agents approached their car, demanded identification, and, after the couple requested to wait for their attorney, smashed the vehicle’s windows with a hammer to extract Méndez.
