ICE Out of Control — When Even Local Police Are Locked Out
🌎 Watching from Canada — November 2025
Something frightening is happening just south of our border — and the world needs to pay attention.
This week in Durango, Colorado, a father driving his two children (ages 12 and 15) to school was pulled over by unmarked vehicles. It looked like a simple traffic stop — but it wasn’t. It was ICE.
Within minutes, the father was detained, and the children were taken into custody.
By noon, the people of Durango — parents, students, pastors, teachers — were outside the local ICE office demanding answers. They brought food, candles, and compassion. They asked a simple question: Are the kids okay?
Then came the part that should alarm every citizen, no matter where we live.
When local police tried to check on the children — even just to bring food — ICE agents blocked them from entering the building.
Let that sink in.
Federal agents refusing entry to city police who were trying to ensure the safety of two minors.
That’s not “law and order.”
That’s vigilantism wearing a uniform.
By sunset, things got worse. Videos now circulating online show officers in riot gear using pepper spray and rubber bullets against peaceful protesters. People holding signs that said “Families Belong Together” were thrown to the ground.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation has opened an inquiry — but the fact that this even happened speaks volumes.
Why Canadians should care
I’m writing this from Canada, but I can’t look away. What happens in the U.S. doesn’t stay there — it echoes across borders.
When human rights are violated, when families are torn apart, when government agencies act without oversight — those same patterns can creep into other countries too.
Canada isn’t immune to injustice or abuse of power. Watching what’s happening in the States is like looking into a mirror of what we must never allow to happen here.
This is bigger than one town
The people of Durango are standing in the cold, holding candles for a family they’ve never met — while ICE operates behind locked doors.
The father was reportedly detained in error. The children were moved out of state.
Yet there’s still no transparency. No accountability. No apology.
When agencies start hiding behind secrecy and violence, when they silence local police and ignore human rights, they stop being protectors — and start becoming a threat to democracy itself.
That’s how civil unrest grows.
That’s how civil wars start — through erosion of trust, fear, and unchecked authority.
A message from across the border
We’re watching.
We see you, Durango.
We stand with every parent, teacher, and citizen who refuses to let this be normalized.
Democracy doesn’t die in one violent moment — it fades when good people stop paying attention.
🕯️ Hold the light, keep filming, keep asking questions.
Because if ICE can block police from checking on children today, what will they block tomorrow?
