Chaos erupted outside of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilityon Tuesday in southwestern Colorado after agents took a family into custody and Durango police tried to get the children released. The arrest and subsequent protest have sparked outrage from some in the small city and statements denouncing ICE's actions from local immigrant advocacy groups.

In a now-widely circulated video, a masked agent took a 57-year-old woman's phone as she recorded the events and as she tried to retrieve it, he threw her to the ground. The agent is only identified with a patch on his vest that reads "police" with a badge next to it.

She and other protesters characterized it as theft and assault. This all unfolded around 6 a.m.
