Protests Erupt in Durango Over ICE Detention of Family

Public outcry intensified in Durango following the controversial detention of a father and his two children by ICE agents, who mistakenly identified the father as someone else. The family reportedly endured mistreatment during their 36-hour detention, leading to widespread protests outside the ICE facility. Demonstrators clashed with federal agents, resulting in the use of pepper spray and rubber bullets. Local authorities, including the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, have launched probes into the incident, with a bipartisan group of lawmakers advocating for the release of the detained family. The situation has prompted discussions within the Durango City Council and raised significant concerns regarding police complicity and the treatment of protesters.
