Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey on Wednesday took aim at statements made by Bristol County Sheriff Thomas M. Hodgson where he blasted the AG s explosive 60-page report that wrapped up her office s six-month investigation into what happened during a violent May 1 altercation at the sheriff s ICE lockup facility in North Dartmouth.
Speaking to reporters Wednesday, the Republican sheriff attacked the Democratic attorney general s report on the conflict at the C. Carlos Carreiro Immigration Detention Center as “baseless” and “politically motivated,” called Healey a political hack, and accused her of creating a false narrative of the incident.
Healey s report accused Hodgson and his officers of violating detainees’ civil rights during a chaotic melee involving dogs and pepper spray that sent two men to the hospital with respiratory distress and left another with an apparent heart attack. That man was revived from unconsciousness via emergency chest compression
