ICE Agents Make at Least Arrest as Massive Protest Swells in South Burlington, Protesters Detained
- On Thursday, March 12, 2026, ICE agents in South Burlington caused multiple crashes near 345 Dorset Street during a foot pursuit.
- The operation was prompted by an investigation tied to a judge-signed warrant, as federal agents said ICE believed the suspect was inside the Dorset Street house.
- About 150 protesters set up a makeshift tent and barricades while law enforcement used flash bangs, pepper spray, and rubber bullets to move those blocking police vehicles near the single-family home on Dorset Street.
- South Burlington officers said they responded to ensure safety and did not assist federal agents, with four protesters detained and released Wednesday evening.
- South Burlington Police Chief William Breault said the operation showed poor planning, a local report named Deyvi Daniel Corona-Sanchez as the warrant subject, and ICE did not respond to requests for comment.
