- Immigration officer is charged with assault after protest outside Colorado ICE facility, DA says
An immigration officer has been charged with third-degree assault and criminal mischief after a protester was seen in a chokehold during a demonstration outside a Colorado ICE facility. The protests followed the detention of three Colombian asylum-seekers on October 27. U.S. Customs and Border Protection acknowledged the inquiry but did not immediately respond to questions about the charges.
