Immigration Agent Charged In Protest Case
2 hours ago
A Colorado district attorney has filed charges against a federal immigration agent following a protest incident.
The case stems from demonstrations over the detention of an immigrant father and two children, where a protester says she was placed in a chokehold.
Video from the October protest appears to show a masked agent grabbing and pulling the protester during the confrontation.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation reviewed the incident as part of the investigation.
The Department of Homeland Security is pushing back, calling the prosecution unlawful and arguing that states do not have authority in the matter.
