Will #DomesticTerrorism charges be brought against these #AntiICE #protestors?

#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."

3 Children Hospitalized in #Minneapolis After Family Van Hit With #ICE #FlashBangs

“Officers threw flash-bangs and tear gas in my car. I got six kids in the car,” said the children’s father. “My 6-month-old can’t even breathe.”

Brett Wilkins, Jan 15, 2026

Excerpt: "Destiny Jackson said she performed CPR on the infant after the baby stopped breathing and lost consciousness.

"Three of the children—the 6-month-old infant and two others, ages 7 and 11 years—were taken by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment.

" 'My kids were innocent, I was innocent, my husband was innocent, this shouldn’t have happened,' Destiny Jackson told KMSP. 'We were just trying to go home.'

"Jackson said that neither she nor her husband have ever protested before—but now they feel they have good reason to do so.

" 'I’m mad as hell,' Shawn Jackson said during an interview with Sky News. 'But now there’s gonna be hell on wheels. They’re definitely gonna have to pay for this.'

" 'This just shows how they don’t care,' Jackson said of the federal agents. 'I was arguing with the officers to call the ambulance for five minutes... He knew there were [children] in the car; he didn’t even try and help.' "

#CommunityDefense Groups Take the Last Stand Against #ICE in #LA

Organizers argue that LA’s #sanctuary laws aren’t enough to keep their #immigrant neighbors safe.

By Claudia Villalona, June 21, 2025

"Across #LosAngeles County, ICE’s operations played out differently. When combat-ready federal agents gathered in large numbers at staging areas in Paramount and Compton on June 8, protesters swiftly mobilized collective resistance efforts and emergency patrols. Agents responded to large crowds with #TearGas, #FlashBangs, and so-called 'less-lethal' weapons.

"Organizers maintain that this grassroots mobilization sabotaged enforcement operations, putting agents on the defensive and preventing them from conducting raids for the rest of the day.

"As ICE raids escalated across Los Angeles in early June, sending #protesters into the streets and immigrant communities into hiding, the contrast between how the consequential weekend unfolded in different parts of the city was stark. Divergent outcomes in majority #Latino areas further east with a long history of organizing and those largely disconnected from grassroots support highlighted the crucial role of #CommunityLedDefense in the absence of meaningful government protection.

"Unlike Compton or Paramount, the airport-adjacent Westchester is geographically and socially isolated from more established community organizing networks. And while LA’s sanctuary laws prohibit local #police from working with ICE, organizers argue that the local law enforcement agencies can’t be trusted to keep immigrants safe.

" 'Workers need to know their rights, whether it’s at the workplace or at their home, and they feel empowered to exercise those rights,' said Flor Melendrez, executive director of the labor advocacy group CLEAN #Carwash Worker Center. Car wash workers, street vendors, and day laborers working in high-visibility, outdoor spaces face heightened risk for arrests as 'easy targets' for ICE raids, while often lacking access to critical resources and workplace protections. Organizers said more than 26 car wash workers were arrested across at least six businesses in the set of raids began on June 6."

From '#FlashBangs' To '#RubberBullets': The Very Real Risks of '#RiotControl Agents'

"How dangerous are "flash-bang" #grenades?

Flash bangs are explosives that are intended to stun and disorient people. "All you are trying to do is make a loud noise and a bright light," says Mesloh, who compares the explosion to that of an M-80 firecracker. Flash bangs are designed to temporarily blind or deafen people. But in rare circumstances, they can cause serious injuries (like blowing off fingers or hands) or even death. That may happen when the police officers make an error throwing the devices, and injure themselves. You are also at risk if a flash-grenade explodes near glass or gravel, creating a dangerous spray of tiny sharp fragments. Also, flash bangs can start fires."
