An Anti-ICE Protester Forgot To Put Their Car In Park… And The Results Were Disastrous

An anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protester in Massachusetts made a catastrophic mistake when they forgot to put their car in park, leading to a disastrous outcome for their vehicle.

According to Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin, the protester, a middle-aged woman, stopped her silver mid-sized SUV in order to yell at ICE agents who were detaining an illegal alien in Upton, Massachusetts on Sunday. While doing so, the woman forgot to put her car in park, at which point it drifted into a nearby body of water and sunk.

An image shared by Melugin shows the woman solemnly looking down at her phone while the submerged vehicle could be seen in the background.

“Well that sucks,” an unknown narrator could be heard saying in a video uploaded to X by Melugin. “Look at this, Lucy. Her car got lost,” the narrator continued.

The narrator appeared to indicate that the woman was or is affiliated with Lucy Pineda, a local activist and leader of the anti-ICE group Latinos Unidos en Massachusetts. According to a glowing profile from the Boston Globe, Pineda’s group boasts “2,500-plus volunteers that patrol from Everett to Lynn to Worcester.”

According to the profile, Pineda frequently wakes up at the crack of dawn in order to follow and hurl insults at federal immigration agents. “You’re targeting our hardworking community. OK? Remember, karma exists. Karma exists,” she yelled at out her driver’s side window in a video titled feature from The Globe, which was accompanied by ominous music.

“We wake up at 5:30 in the morning… ICE from the beginning, they start targeting our families. Since then, we start organizing, go around of our neighbors, our street, driving around with our microphones. We teach our families, know your rights,” Pineda says while driving around in the video titled, “Lucy Pineda won’t back down from ICE — using social media to shield immigrant communities.”

Pineda went on to note that “they know this car,” seemingly in reference to federal agents. “We take picture, we take videos, and they start moving. Most of the cases, some cases, they now record it,” she said, adding that the group operates an office with multiple phone lines and staffers.
