Durango Community Divided After ICE Admits Wrongful Family Apprehension
Durango, Colorado - A recent incident in Durango, Colorado, has sparked significant community concern following allegations of wrongful arrests and the separation of a family by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). According to local reports and community activist Willow Bradner, a family, including two children and their father, were reportedly apprehended by ICE agents while the children were on their way to school. Bradner claims that the family experienced abuse during the apprehension and subsequent detention. The Durango Police Department reportedly attempted to intervene, requesting access to the children for welfare checks and seeking to facilitate a peaceful transfer to their mother. However, these requests were allegedly denied by ICE officials. The incident escalated when peaceful protestors gathered, leading to confrontations where individuals were reportedly pepper-sprayed and struck with rubber bullets. One 72-year-old female protestor allegedly sustained broken ribs after being placed in a chokehold by an officer. In a development that has further fueled public outrage, ICE officials have reportedly admitted that the family initially targeted was the 'wrong' family. Despite this admission, the children and their father have not yet been returned to their mother, remaining in custody and reportedly traumatized by the experience. The incident has deeply divided the Durango community, with some residents expressing support for immigration enforcement actions, while others condemn the methods used and the alleged human rights violations. The ongoing situation continues to draw attention to the complexities and human impact of immigration policies and enforcement practices within local communities.
