Now, federal prosecutors say he misused more than $1.5 MILLION in pandemic relief loans—and he’s facing 26 criminal charges across two separate cases. Lawrence, Massachusetts, Mayor Brian DePeña supported ICE targeting criminals in his community. Then the FBI arrested him. In this video, Nate the Lawyer breaks down DePeña’s rise to office, the controversy over his English and use of a translator, and the allegations that COVID relief money went toward his campaign, personal tax debts, and mortgages. And the federal case is only part of the story. Massachusetts prosecutors also charged him with distributing an illegally recorded conversation and witness intimidation. DePeña has pleaded not guilty and refuses to resign. How did this become two criminal cases—and what happens next? Watch the clips, follow the allegations, and tell me: Should a mayor facing charges like these step aside while the cases play out? DePeña is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. This video discusses allegations and provides legal commentary. 👍 Like the video, subscribe to Nate the Lawyer, and turn on notifications for more legal breakdowns.
