Hundreds of protesters responded to an immigration raid targeting Deyvi Daniel Corona-Sanchez in South Burlington, VT on Wednesday and were punched, shoved, maced and run over by police and federal agents.
Multiple confrontations occurred throughout the day between protestors and officers. When agents initially tried to arrest Corona-Sanchez, a standoff ensued. A federal agent then returned in the late afternoon claiming they had a warrant signed by a judge for his arrest. The agents broke down the front door of a home shortly before 6 p.m. and forcibly removed three people from inside, none of whom were Corona-Sanchez who was later determined to be not in the house.
Protesters linked arms to prevent federal vehicles with those arrested inside from leaving. Several were brutalized and 11 protestors were arrested as federal agents deployed flash bangs and chemical weapons before leaving the scene.
