Assault charge for Colorado ICE agent

The decision to prosecute a federal agent for assault has set the stage for a significant legal test of immunity provisions for immigration officers.

Protesters allege that the agent used excessive force during a peaceful demonstration against the Trump administration's mass deportation campaign.

The case involves the detention of a father and two children, which has become a flashpoint for local activists.

Attorneys argue that the outcome could impact how federal agents are held accountable for their actions in the line of duty.
