Vermont Public Documentary: ICE Raid on Dorset St.
The comprehensive story and a video look at the action taken by ALL parties during the hours-long detention attempt and protest on Dorset St in South Burlington in March.

This Vermont Public review shows local police confronted both ICE and protesters as officers resisted – but ultimately accepted – a role in the raid.
