  2. Maimed, Deafened, Blinded

    Fired at close enough range, so-called less lethal rounds easily kill or maim.

    #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."

    How to Stay Safe During a Tear Gas
    Attack - From a US Marine
    📣📣📣📣📣
    This is for the protesters

    I am a former Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Defense Specialist in the US Marine Corps. Step by step, this
    is how to stay as safe as possible when exposed to tear gas. I hope this is helpful.

    EDIT: there is now a
    captioned video available on YouTube for the deaf and hard of hearing! Stay safe.

    EDIT: HERE ARE SOME FAQ's!
    Q: Does milk help?.
    A: NO! Milk is a low level acid and will make the sensation worse/last longer. THE BEST AND FASTEST way to alleviate symptoms is fresh air! Wait a LONG time (hours) before showering. Wash hands
    with soap at any time.

    Q: Will it cause an asthma attack?
    A: Tear gas is not specifically designed to trigger an asthma attack, however it is a possibility.

    Please note: I am NOT a medic nor posturing as one. Follow the protocol you're familiar with and get to a hospital
    if you feel an attack coming on. PLEASE talk to your doctor about any/all specific health concerns before putting yourself in an uncertain position.

    Q: How about a mini fan?
    A: YES! Great idea. A mini fan will help create airflow, therefore helping the powder dry.*

    Q: Leaf blower?
    A: Not advisable, especially at close range. The wind is too strong, and too direct. Runs the risk of pushing
    powder further into the pores. Mini fan for a gentle wind is a good idea.

    Q: Can I wear my contacts?
    A: Not advisable. Wear glasses if you have them. lf powder gets between your eye and your contact, it could potentially scratch your cornea.

    Q: Should I wear swim goggles?
    A: YES! Excellent idea! Thick plastic swim or ski goggles, when worn correctly, could be very effective
    in protecting your eyes!

    ‼️Note: powder will collect around the outside. Be careful taking them off.

    Q: What else can I wear to protect myself?
    A: Long sleeves, pants, high socks, closed-toe shoes, scarves, hats, and gloves will do a lot to protect your
    skin! Cover as much of yourself as you can. It won't stop all of the powder from reaching your skin, but a barrier will stop some.

    Q: Will it come out of my clothes?
    A: YES! Wash them separately from other laundry twice. It will all come out.
