While on a run a few miles from our house, in the West Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, Bena gets stoped by ICE (ICE has confirmed these were their officers) asking for ID (which he doesn’t carry on runs). One of the cars drove up and blocked off the sidewalk and another pulled up beside him, Apreala told WBUR. But when he noticed the ICE badge, Apreala told the men that he was born and raised in Boston. An officer told Apreala that he matched the description of a man they had been investigating and insisted he provide identification. “They said that immigration isn’t the only thing that they investigate and proceeded to question me,” Apreala told WBUR.
