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."

Judge limits crowd control devices at #Portland #ICE building; federal officers must identify themselves

A federal judge in #Oregon ruled that he would continue to strictly limit federal use of #teargas and other crowd control weapons on protesters outside the building in Portland.

DHS officers had an unwritten policy to use excessive force on #nonviolent protesters, in part to chill their #FirstAmendment rights, District Court Judge Michael Simon found.

Public Health Experts Sound Alarm as Feds Keep Deploying Tear Gas Near Kids

“We don’t know the long-term effects. We don’t understand their effects on children,” said a pediatrician.

Public Health Experts Sound Alarm as Feds Keep Deploying Tear Gas Near Kids – The USA Potato

The #PearlRoundabout was first cleared of protesters on #ThisDayInHistory in 2011. The #ArabSpring in #Bahrain was fraught given its sectarian régime. #TearGas, birdshot rounds, and swinging clubs left four dead and 300+ wounded. Calls to depose the king grew louder thereafter.

Following the temporary restraining order issued against federal agents’ use of teargas and other “less lethals” for 14 days, Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield has submitted arguments and evidence in support of a lawsuit brought forth by ACLU of Oregon on behalf of protesters and journalists that challenges violations of the First Amendment and the use of excessive force by federal agents outside the Portland ICE building.

The evidence shows that federal agents tear gassed protesters, including children, elderly folks, disabled people, and pets, repeatedly during the weekend of January 31.

They are urging the court to issue a preliminary injunction against federal agents' “unlawful use of tear gas, pepper balls, and other crowd-control munitions.”

The district court will hold a three-day hearing on the preliminary injunction motion, which will begin on March 2.

Attached: 2 images They just heavily gassed. Went thru my full face again. the medics were saying it was going through their masks too. There were very young children present. This is the road nearby ten minutes after the gassing started. The gas is still visible as I type this. Crowd regroup and energy is high. “Killing in the name of” now playing on loud speaker.
