    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the resignation of a Rhode Island correctional officer following an incident where a truck he allegedly drove collided with peaceful protesters outside the Wyatt Detention Facility, which contracts with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The protesters, organized by the Jewish activist group Never Again Action, were advocating for the closure of immigrant detention centers. Five individuals were injured, with one sustaining a broken leg, and investigations by the Rhode Island State Police and the Attorney General's Office are ongoing. The Wyatt Detention Facility is conducting its own review of the incident and has expressed support for the right to peaceful protest. [Extracted from the article]
