Overview
- Video recorded by protester Franci Stagi, 57, shows an unidentified officer knocking away her phone, grabbing her and throwing her to the ground outside the ICE office.
- A senior ICE official testified that agents misidentified the father yet arrested him and his two children without warrants, and the family was transported to a Texas detention center.
- The Colorado Bureau of Investigation opened a criminal-law review at the Durango police chief’s request and will send findings to the 6th Judicial District Attorney for charging decisions, with the FBI also reported to be reviewing the encounter.
- Stagi says she suffered head and neck pain after the takedown, and the officer did not detain her following the incident.
- Advocates say the father, Fernando Jaramillo-Solano, has an active asylum case and no criminal history, and Gov. Jared Polis faulted federal authorities for a lack of transparency.
