PHOTOS: Protesters gather to block ICE agents from apprehending man in South Burlington

https://vtdigger.org/2026/03/11/photos-protesters-gather-to-block-ice-agents-from-apprehending-man-in-south-burlington/

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents had been pursuing a man who they believed fled into a house on Dorset Street near University Mall.
SOUTH BURLINGTON - Protesters surrounded a house on Dorset Street in South Burlington on Wednesday, trying to block agents from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement from apprehending a person inside. About 150 demonstrators gathered at the scene near University Mall, forming a human chain surrounding the single-family home.

The demonstrators put up a makeshift tent in front of the house where they were providing masks and food. Some were also singing and chanting, "ICE out," and modified versions of "We Shall Overcome" with the words "We'll abolish ICE."

Back in the 1980s my mom took up researching her ancestry and it turns out that we are descendants of Ethan Allen - of all people.

Is it someone who has been issued a final order of removal by an immigration judge, had their asylum claim heard and denied, or just some random immigrant?
