Overview
- Homeland Security condemned the reported conduct, saying ICE supervisors acted immediately and the Office of Professional Responsibility is leading a thorough investigation.
- Voces Unidas reports at least nine people were detained in the Eagle‑Vail area last week, including eight in what the group describes as fake traffic stops.
- Families in at least two cases found ace‑of‑spades cards in abandoned vehicles that listed the ICE Denver field office name, address and phone number.
- The advocacy group calls the tactic psychological harassment, noting the ace of spades’ longstanding association with intimidation and death dating to the Vietnam War.
- Voces Unidas says DHS has not contacted the organization as the inquiry proceeds, and the episode is prompting calls for accountability and wider scrutiny of ICE tactics.
