Terror in Colorado: ICE Agents Aim Guns at Family with One-Month-Old Baby

ICE Agents Point Gun at Migrant Family with a Baby

One-Month-Old Baby in Danger

Video Reveals Police Abuse

The video showing agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) breaking a car window and pointing guns at a family with a newborn baby has triggered outrage across the United States.

The incident occurred in Alamosa, Colorado, when officers tried to detain a couple who had just left a routine immigration check.

According to the mother, 21-year-old Maya England, she was sitting in the back seat next to her one-month-old baby when three unmarked trucks began following them.

Suddenly, the vehicles activated sirens and blocked the family’s car, according to CNN.

José Aguilera, a Mexican national, decided to step out of the car and surrender, fearing for his family’s safety.

The agents claimed they had an immigration warrant but refused to show it when England asked.

The young mother tried to follow the trucks to an ICE office, hoping to see the judicial document.

However, once there, no one answered her questions or confirmed Aguilera’s whereabouts.

By Tuesday night, his name no longer appeared in ICE’s detainee locator system, increasing the family’s distress.

The episode occurred despite a 2020 Colorado state law prohibiting ICE from arresting migrants who are going to or returning from court.

Human rights advocates described the video as “an alarming reflection of excessive use of force” during immigration operations.

Tim Macdonald, Legal Director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Colorado, called the footage “deeply disturbing.”

Legal Concerns and Human Rights Reactions

“It should concern every American,” he stated after reviewing the images that show the window being shattered just inches from the baby.

The mother, who was born in Fort Morgan, said she only wants answers — and to know where her partner is.

ICE has not yet commented on the incident or confirmed whether the agents involved are under internal investigation.

This ICE agents Colorado incident has reignited criticism of the agency’s tactics, which have been repeatedly accused of using disproportionate force during immigration arrests.

In Latino communities across Colorado, the video’s release has spread fear and renewed calls for greater federal oversight of ICE operations.

For many, the image of a baby crying among broken glass has become a symbol of the institutional violence faced by thousands of migrant families in the United States.
