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."

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. -
Foul and Fowl
Foul
ICE continues to terrorize the Twin Cities, particularly Minneapolis. You have probably seen video and heard stories. Another person was shot this last week. DHS is saying he attacked them and then tried to run away so they shot him in the leg. Video and witness evidence is now coming out that reveals the situation may have been completely different—surprise! Don’t believe any story coming from the federal government regarding what is happening here.
ICE is operating outside the law. They detain U.S. Citizens. ICE detained a 17-year-old kid working his shift at my neighborhood Target. He is a U.S. citizen and had his passport in his pocket, but ICE refused to verify this until 8 miles later when they then dumped him out of their SUV in a Walmart parking lot.
Then there is Garrison Gibson, a legal Liberian immigrant. ICE unlawfully busted down his front door with a battering ram after he refused to leave the house or open the door because ICE did not have a signed judicial warrant. Gibson was home with his wife, daughter and niece.
There are confirmed reports of ICE blocking in the cars of observers and then charging them with obstruction. ICE is also going to protesters’ houses trying to intimidate them and making threats. Then they are using tear gas on peaceful protesters and others who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. One family’s car was tear gassed and their 6-month-old baby who was in the car stopped breathing and had to be rushed to the hospital. Now they have to pay hospital bills and make extensive repairs to their car. A Judge ruled Friday that ICE is not allowed to use tear gas on peaceful protesters. Not sure that will even mean anything.
Meanwhile Keith Ellison, Minnesota Attorney General, has issued an alert regarding DHS digital surveillance and how to protect your privacy. The state, Minneapolis, and St Paul are suing the Federal government citing constitutional violations of the first and tenth amendments. And the Department of Justice has launched investigations of Governor Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on the grounds that they are impeding operations of the federal government. However, Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who murdered Renee Good, is not being investigated or charged with anything by the federal government.
But Minnesotans will not be silenced. If anything there are more and more people out on the streets and providing mutual aid. Monday night James and I did a virtual ICE Watch training from States at the Core via Defend612. There were 1,700 people on the call. They continue to offer trainings every few days. They made it a point to say that what is happening has nothing to do with immigration. Immigration is the excuse the Trump administration is using to intimidate and militarize cities in order to consolidate authoritarian power. I have not gone out on neighborhood patrol–it’s a bit challenging to do by bicycle in winter–but I carry a whistle with me whenever I leave the house and keep a lookout for ICE so I can make reports to my rapid response group.
People here are standing up against heavily armed and sometimes poorly trained agents. They are fighting back with video documentation, whistles, car horns, peaceful protest that includes marching in the streets singing, and ok, sometimes throwing snowballs. People are also pouring water on streets and sidewalks where ICE is gathering making some real ice. There are lots of videos and photos going around of ICE agents slipping and falling.
We are now getting an arctic blast, it is that time of the year here. Temperatures are going sub-zero F / -17C. I saw someone report today that they were at Duluth Trading Company behind a couple men who were spending $5,000 on cold weather gear.
Apparently, defense tactics are working because The New Republic is reporting that the Department of Homeland Security is having trouble finding agents willing to come to Minneapolis. There are currently 3,000 agents in the state, mainly centered in the Twin Cities. Now Trump is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act. There are 1,500 active-duty military troops on standby in Alaska ready to invade my state. It is a great irony that the President is interested in protecting protesters in Iran while suppressing protests in his own country.
I have a friend who is Vietnamese and a U.S. citizen who is worried she will be stopped by ICE. I have another friend who is a citizen and immigrant from Brazil who is also terrified.
If you are wondering what you can do to support Minnesota, advocate with your electeds to stop funding ICE and to stand up against the Trump administration. If you are looking to make a monetary donation to help support the immigrant community here, some good groups are Isaiah, Neighborhood House, Minnesota Immigrant Rights Committee, and ACLU Minnesota. Stand With Minnesota has additional lists of places who are supporting people with rental assistance, food, diapers, and other supplies.
As if all that isn’t enough, Jake Lang, white supremacist and pardoned January 6th insurrectionist, came to Minneapolis yesterday and held a rally downtown outside city hall. There were more counterprotestors than there were people at the rally. He was sprayed with silly string, but things got a bit out of control when people began pelting him with snowballs and water balloons. Lang is now claiming on social media that he was “lynched” and stabbed. He did not go to any hospital afterwards and photos show him leaving the rally with scrapes and bruises but no apparent stab wounds.

I think I have mentioned here a few months ago after Mrs. Dashwood, the last of the original Dashwood chicken flock, died, that James and I had decided we are not going to welcome any additional chickens to our dwindling—now 2 chickens—flock. I’ve been feeling a little sad about that because I enjoy sharing my life with chickens, but we decided since we don’t keep them for their eggs, the growing expense of taking care of them just wasn’t worth it.
Then two weeks ago I got an email from Eggplant, the place we bought the Dashwoods and the Nuggets, letting me know that chick orders are now open. I clicked, just to look at the pictures. Honest! But gosh darn, if those birds aren’t adorable and beautiful. I started thinking maybe…and floated the idea to James.
He frowned but said he would think about it.
A week later I checked in with him on his thoughts and he said he was fine with it but not all that interested. I said we both had to actually want them. He said he’d think about it some more.
Early in the week I checked in again and he said he was a go! Friday I placed our order for two chicks, a speckled Sussex (James’s choice) and a pearl onyx (my choice). They will be The Witches. James has already named the Sussex Nanny Ogg after one of the witches in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books. I have named the pearl onyx Baba Yaga who lives in a chicken-legged hut. We will be welcoming the baby chicks on April 3rd.
It’s nice to have something good to look forward to.
I’m behind on comments and blog visiting—been kind of distracted! But I am endeavoring to catch up over the next days.
Enjoy this Woody Guthrie song to send you on your way: All You Fascists Bound to Lose

#NorthMinneapolis Chases Out #ICE
A Firsthand Account of the Response to Another ICE Shooting
2026-01-15 via #CrimethInc
Excerpt: "Some overzealous cameraman—I couldn’t tell if it was the same guy from before—muscled his way through the crowd to get a shot of the ICE vehicle receiving this treatment. 'No video!' someone roared at him. 'If you let him take pictures of this shit, somebody is going to jail!' A few people forcefully encouraged the cameraman to turn around and leave the area."

How to Stay Safe #Protesting #ICE — and What to Expect From #Cops in Your City
Do police in your city use #TearGas or #RubberBullets? Repression tactics from Seattle to Chicago, plus how to prepare.
by Akela Lacy
June 14 2025, 7:00 a.m.Excerpt: “The key really no matter where you are or what you’re doing is situational awareness,” said Mickey H. Osterreicher, general counsel to the National Press Photographers Association. “When you start to see officers on bikes encircling you, you need to have probably thought of this before, but certainly at that point, look for a place to exit.”

In Backlash to Campus #ProPalestine #Protests, Echoes of #StandingRock and the Global Crackdown on #ClimateProtest
The use of #militarized police and “#antiterrorism” laws against #activists is not new in the U.S.

"As soon as a single #Palestinian activist showed up at an anti-#DakotaAccessPipeline camp on the edge of the Standing Rock reservation in 2016, intelligence analysts for the mercenary security firm #TigerSwan were on alert.
"El-Zabri, the Palestinian activist surveilled at Standing Rock, was among 79 people arrested this week while protesting at the #UniversityOfTexas at #Austin. 'It really felt like the same as Standing Rock, when we were facing the police,' he said.
"''There was a whole army that looked like it was at war in #RiotGear. They eventually used #TearGas and #PepperSpray.'
"'They're afraid of what we have to say and the people that we can touch,' said Cornell senior Yanenowi Logan, who is Deer Clan from the #SenecaNation and has been negotiating with campus administrators.
"Logan said that by standing up for Gazans, she and other Native organizers are also standing up for themselves. 'We want to be able to show them that, hey, we're still here,' she said. 'You can try to kill us. You can burn our crops. You can do whatever you want to do, but we're still going to persist.'"
