Former Worcester councilor Etel Haxhiaj convicted of assaulting a police officer during a 2025 ICE raid, sentenced to probation and community service.
A Worcester Superior Court jury convicted former city councilor Etel Haxhiaj of assault and battery on a police officer during a May 2025 ICE arrest on Eureka Street, where she intervened to protect a Brazilian mother and her daughter.
She was acquitted on a separate charge of interfering with police.
The trial, which concluded on February 11, 2026, featured conflicting accounts of the confrontation, with prosecutors citing body camera footage and officer testimony, while Haxhiaj claimed self-defense.
Judge Zachary M. Hillman sentenced her to six months of probation and 40 hours of community service.
The case highlighted tensions between local officials and federal immigration enforcement.
