A spokesperson for Worcester Police says they were called to the scene after federal agents had arrived, and they were trying to de-escalate the situation as several people had surrounded the federal agents and were putting their hands on them. The crowd then demanding to see a warrant And some attempting to prevent the agents' vehicle from leaving. One of those people was reportedly holding a baby.

Worcester Police also says school a woman named Ashley Spring pushed officers and threw an unknown liquid on to them, leading to her arrest.

Those who spoke Friday saying the impact of Thursday's events are rippling through Worcester.

"Trauma saturates," said Councilor At-Large Khrystian King. "And here in Worcester, you can feel it from the community, from folks watching videos and the family that's been forever impacted by all of this. "

"The Worcester branch NAACP is calling for a thorough investigation into this incident, calling on City Manager Batista, the Mayor and all city councilors to have some accountability and transparency," said Worcester NAACP President Fred Taylor. "And we want to know why this happened and what they're going to do to prevent that from happening again."

City Manager Batista calling what happened 'disturbing and harrowing.' 

Spectrum News 1 spoke with Mayor Joseph Petty Friday. The Mayor saying ICE did not coordinate with the city or police department, reiterating local police were responding in an effort to de-escalate the situation.

Petty still condemning what happened on Eureka Street.

"This is a result of the policy of the federal government, is to create this atmosphere of fear," Petty said. "And nobody saying that like we should be going after criminals or anything like that. But no, it's not even clear to me what the way it was detained for, that was detained. Nobody knows, I think and I haven't been briefed on that. But so I think this is an important issue for the city that we stay together as a community."

Petty has filed an order requesting Batista to create a written policy on how the city interacts with ICE.

ICE saying in a statement they do not comment on ongoing operations.

Local police say the incident is under investigation as they continue to review video and further charges could be coming for some.
