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."

#Noem Denies Use of Chemical Agents in #Minnesota, Then Backtracks
#KristiNoem, the homeland security secretary, said officers had not used pepper spray and similar measures limited by a judge’s order, then was confronted with a video that showed chemical agents deployed.
By Minho Kim, Reporting from Washington, Jan. 18, 2026
"Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, denied in a televised interview on Sunday that her department had used pepper spray and similar tactics curtailed by a judicial order issued last week, then backtracked and blamed protesters after being confronted with a video of federal agents deploying such measures against crowds in Minnesota.
" 'That federal order was a little ridiculous, because that federal judge came down and told us we couldn’t do what we already aren’t doing,' Ms. Noem said on CBS’s 'Face the Nation.'
"But after being pressed on a video that backed up the accounts provided to the court, she changed course. Protesters were to blame for the use of force, she said, adding that federal officers 'only use those chemical agents when there’s violence happening and perpetuating.' [BULLSHIT!]
"The ruling on Friday by Judge Kate M. Menendez of the Federal District Court in Minnesota said that chemical agents had been used against protesters on at least four separate occasions and called the evidence of their use 'uncontroverted.' "

#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."

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.
by Alleen Brown, Drilled
This story is co-published with the Center for Media and Democracy and #CensoredNewsMay 3, 2024
"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.'"

This quote is from a different event, but worth calling out. I recommend reading the full story.
//Vasquez said it was especially terrifying to see police teargas reproductive justice protests, given the concerns that exposure can potentially cause abortion or miscarriage, which in some states can lead to criminalization and arrest: “Knowing the aftermath of being teargassed, it’s like watching a car crash you’ve already been through.”//

Tear gas is not benign. This story analyzes its overuse and consequences from the 2020 George Floyd protests in Portland.
