A teen who was arrested by ICE last May while on the way to volleyball practice attended the SOTU as a guest of his congressman. Midway, he was targeted by DHS in a tweet. Inside his SOTU experience, from @marcelanotes bostonglobe.com/2026/02/25/met…

@TracyNovick Thank you, Tracy!

I want to give (new!) Boston Globe education reporter @marcelanotes a shout-out for her being behind so many of the "I'm glad they wrote about this, and hey, they talked to the right people!" articles recently. Today's: bostonglobe.com/2025/09/02/met… #MAEdu

Students across Massachusetts are encountering a changed landscape as they head back to school. For today’s @BostonGlobe Starting Point, I asked @marcelanotes about how everything from immigration enforcement to cell phone use may be different this year bostonglobe.com/2025/08/26/new…

Marcelo Gomes da Silva, who was arrested on his way to volleyball practice, has quickly become the face of ICE operations in Massachusetts. Since his release from detention, we spent a month documenting the teen’s life. Read more @BostonGlobe: bostonglobe.com/2025/07/14/met…

A father self-deports before dawn. A retired postman helps a 13-yr old through an immigration hearing. A woman signs paperwork to protect her children, lest she get picked up. There are the stories of the Massachusetts families impacted by ICE. bostonglobe.com/2025/07/02/met…

Marcelo Gomes da Silva was welcomed to the Massachusetts State House by Governor Maura Healey, who gifted the teen a beaded rosary blessed by Pope Francis. trib.al/qPOnFdQ

Under a 2023 Texas law, students caught with vapes must be removed to disciplinary alternative schools. More students were sent to DAEP last year than at any point in the past decade. State lawmakers are now debating whether to ease up — or double down: dallasnews.com/news/education…
