Authorities on Thursday identified a 31-year-old man who was killed in a fire at his Stoughton home this week. Gerald Green was rushed to a local hospital after a fire broke out at 1399 Central St. on Wednesday night, officials said. Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey’s office said Green later died from his injuries. “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Gerald Green. We extend our deepest sympathies for their loss,” Morrissey said in a statement. The manner and cause of Green’s death will be determined by the state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, the statement said. The fire was reported about 5:45 p.m. Wednesday after someone called 911 but then hung up, officials said. The home was ablaze when emergency responders arrived. Firefighters went into the home and were working to put out the blaze when they found an unresponsive man, later identified as Green, according to officials. He was taken to a local hospital in critical condition.

The mayor of the small Central Valley farm town of Kerman pulled up to a bakery, her cellphone camera recording, and confronted federal immigration agents conducting an early-morning operation in which multiple people were detained. “You’re not welcome in my city,” Maria Pacheco told the masked agents, identifying herself as the mayor. “You’ve taken enough people yesterday. We don’t want you here. You need to leave.” As the men wearing U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement vests drove away, she shouted: “How can you make a living kidnapping people? How can you sleep at night doing what you’re doing? ... You are a sorry piece of sh—!” Pacheco, who is running for a seat on the Fresno County Board of Supervisors, posted video of the Oct. 8 confrontation in Kerman — a mostly Latino city of 17,000 west of Fresno — on social media, labeling it: “Mayor Maria Pacheco Stands Up to ICE.” The footage went viral. TikTok commentators praised her bravery. Comedian and actor George Lopez posted about it on Facebook — writing, “We need more politicians like Maria Pacheco!” — and she shared her campaign fundraising link in the comments.
