Standoff Over ICE Raid Draws Protests in Vermont
Federal immigration agents executed an arrest at a Dorset Street home in South Burlington after a day-long standoff with hundreds of protesters; three people were removed from inside the residence as demonstrators linked arms, blocked entrances, and clashes with police occurred. Tear gas and flash bangs were used to disperse the crowd. The target, Deyvi Daniel Corona-Sanchez, a Mexican national who had been removed in 2022 and reentered, was not in the house when agents entered, officials later said. Vermont State Police and local officers assisted; activists criticized the action as terrorizing a family, while authorities emphasized safety and noted the operation was conducted by federal agents.
