SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. —

Four people have been detained and could face criminal charges as a massive protest erupted after federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested a person in South Burlington on Wednesday.

The detainments followed a chaotic day of protests that shut down Dorset Street and saw throngs of community members and state and local police at a home where ICE agents were attempting to arrest a person who had earlier fled and caused a multi-vehicle crash.

Federal court documents identified the person who federal agents were looking to arrest as Daviy Daniel Corona-Sanchez, a native of Mexico who was removed from the United States for illegal entry in 2022.

After obtaining search warrants to enter the home, ICE was unable to find Corona-Sanchez inside. A warrant for his arrest is still active.

Following that crash, the individual then fled on foot, and agents followed them back to the home on Dorset Street. Federal agents, some masked and some unmasked, quickly surrounded the building on Dorset Street, believing the subject was inside.

South Burlington police said they were not made aware of immigration enforcement activity and only found out about what happened because of the crash investigation.

Immigration officers had requested the department’s assistance at the scene as a large crowd of protesters gathered outside.

State police arrived around 2 p.m. to assist with containing the protest.

After nearly nine hours, federal agents broke down the front door into the home and arrested one person, who was then taken away despite shouts and attempts to stop them from protesters.

At a Wednesday night press conference, local police agencies insisted that they were not assisting ICE and their action on Dorset Street was meant to protect protestors’ First Amendment rights. They said they did not use force.
