VANCOUVER – On Friday (Dec. 5), the Vancouver Police Department was made aware of an incident that occurred in Vancouver on Dec. 4 involving agents from the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The VPD learned of this incident via a video that appeared to be taken with a cell phone of the ICE arrest that was subsequently circulated by community members. The video appears to show that the arrested person’s foot may have been struck by an ICE agent’s vehicle during the arrest.
