WILLISTON – Monday, Feb 9. At approximately 1:15pm, a group of 25 Vermont community members, mostly elders, entered White Cap office park, home of ICE’s National Criminal Analysis and Targeting Center. They were accompanied by a small group consisting of legal observers, police liaisons, and media observers. The protesters are demanding that the landlord renegotiate and cancel the facility’s lease. They proceeded to sit and march in front of the ICE offices, singing protest songs and reading short details of some of the several people killed by ICE in recent weeks.
