Boston Mom And Her 15-Year-Old Daugther Reportedly Attacked By Two White Women For Speaking Spanish On The Street

In Boston, a mother and her 15-year-old daughter were allegedly the victims of unprovoked violence when two White women attacked them for speaking Spanish on a public street.

The mother, who spoke at a press conference and wished to be identified only by her last name, Vasquez, said the attack took place on February 15 in Maverick Square, East Boston.


She released a statement through her attorneys, saying:

"We were attacked, punched, kicked, and bitten. I'm having nightmares."
"I'm afraid to take the train to work, and my family is afraid to speak Spanish in public."

A video of the incident, captured by nearby security tapes, shows one of the alleged attackers crossing the street waving an arm at Vasquez before shoving her and beginning a fight.

The Boston Globe reported the women hurled racist insults at Vasquez.

"Speak English. This is America ... go back to your [expletive] country!"

Police Sgt. Detective John Boyle said no arrests have been made but the Boston police's civil rights unit is still actively investigating the incident.

When officers arrived at the scene of the conflict, they spoke with both Vasquez and the alleged assailants, who admitted to belligerent behavior but denied starting the fight.

The White women claimed to police that Vasquez threw the first punch during a verbal argument.

The video footage shows otherwise.

Janelle Dempsey, an attorney for Lawyers for Civil Rights, who are representing Vasquez, says attacks like this are not exceptionally rare.

"Acts of racism and xenophobia are alarmingly common in East Boston. Most of the time, victims and witnesses are reluctant to speak out of fear and trauma. But the Vasquez family wants the police to hold the assailants accountable."

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
