#ICE enforcement action leads to #protest, violent clashes in #SouthBurlington, #Vermont
by Derek Brouwer, Liam Elder-Connors, Zoe McDonald, March 12, 2026
"A tense, day-long standoff outside a South Burlington, Vermont house ended Wednesday night with federal immigration agents removing three people inside and a series of violent clashes between police and hundreds of #activists who tried to impede the apprehension.
"It marked the first major confrontation between protesters and federal immigration authorities in Vermont. Federal law enforcement deployed #TearGas and #flashbangs on a normally busy street in the state’s second largest city to disperse the activists who had surrounded their vehicles. Roughly 60 local and state law enforcement officers were also on scene, though the departments sought to distance themselves from ICE’s conduct.
"The incident began when a man fled Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who had been surveilling a Dorset Street residence where he was staying.
"According to an ICE affidavit, the subject of the warrant was Deyvi Daniel Corona-Sanchez, a Mexico native who was removed from the United States in 2022, and later illegally reentered the country. In January, Corona-Sanchez was arrested by Middlebury police and charged with drunk driving, the affidavit says.
"Following a multi-vehicle crash, Corona-Sanchez escaped to a house on Dorset Street, authorities said.
"A growing number of protesters and police assembled outside throughout the day as immigration authorities waited for a criminal warrant to enter and arrest him.
"A neighbor, Richard Landsman, said an Ecuadoran family with two children had lived in the house for roughly a year. At one point in the afternoon, people helped a child leave the house; they were driven away.
"When the warrant came through after roughly nine hours, federal agents approached the front door with #TacticalGear and weapons drawn. They were supported by #VermontStatePolice troopers.
"Police wrenched away protesters blocking the front entrance and ICE agents broke down the door. Federal agents removed three people from inside, forcing them into an unmarked car. They attempted to drive off, but protesters linked arms and blocked the street. Confrontations ensued, and the agents eventually managed to drive off by running over a median and exiting via a driveway."

Federal law allows citizens to sue state and local officials for violating individuals’ constitutional rights. But there’s no legal recourse for transgressions by federal officials.
As Vermont lawmakers watch immigration agents crack down on protesters in places like Minnesota — and now here in Vermont — they’ve decided to pursue state legislation that would give Vermonters the right to sue federal officials for excessive use of force, for example, or denying people the right to assemble.
Gemma SeymourToday is always a good day to contact your elected and appointed officials and request that they open social #communications channels on the #nonprofit #Fediverse, and move away from billionaire #oligarchy #plutarchy controlled #media.
#Currency is created in two ways in modern economies: by spending it into existence by the central government; and by lending it into existence through fractional #banking.
That gives us power that most people don't even realize we have, because while the law prevents states and cities from printing #money, it does not and cannot prevent them from owning and operating banks that could lend new money into existence.
#PublicBanking is key to reviving #Vermont's economy. #VTpol #VTpoli
Americans need to understand that our tax policy is fundamentally dysfunctional. Our system of government was not designed around a strong, centralized, unitary federal government, but for the past century or so, we have paid the vast majority of our taxes to the federal government, which shifts power away from our local communities and our individual states.
Can someone please explain to me why VTSP even has olive drab military style uniforms? This is unacceptable. You are not military forces, you are police, and you should not be wearing "tactical" gear, looking like little green army men.
Friends, Vermonters, Countrypeople!
This is my new official public social communications channel for all things related to my elected and appointed positions.
The administrator of my previous host, vermont.masto.host, has chosen to discontinue operations as of 2026-03-20, requiring me to find a new home for this account.
Looking forward to hearing from constituents and talking about plans for the #LetsGrowBrattleboro and #Vermont2050 initiatives.
MFennVT has movedAnd I just got an unsolicited text from #Vermont #Democrat #AmandaJanoo asking for money. Her first contact with me. She's running to unseat governor #PhilScott and has never held public office before. She was also apparently never taught any manners. What the fuck? #VTPol
