Durango Police Seek Probe of ICE Clash

After video showed a masked immigration agent grab protester Franci Stagi and throw her down an embankment during a standoff in Durango, Colo., Police Chief Brice Current asked state investigators to examine possible criminal violations, calling the hold a chokehold. The protest erupted after ICE arrested a Colombian father and his two children, a detention later described as mistaken identity. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation and Customs and Border Protection are investigating, the district attorney is weighing charges and immunity issues, and the FBI is probing clashes involving pepper spray and crowd-control munitions.
