Three individuals in Lawrence, Kansas, were stopped, handcuffed and detained by ICE and other federal immigration agents today, according to video and photos captured by bystanders and distributed by a local activists group. “We have received reports of ICE activity in West Lawrence and South Lawrence,” Lawrence-based Sanctuary Alliance reported Tuesday, posting images on its social media. “We can confirm 5 total confirmed sighting (sic). We can confirm 3 detainments.” Images captured by an eyewitness show as many as four agents, with one in a vest marked ICE, for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and another marked ERO, for Enforcement and Removal Operations, taking individuals into custody at three locations. They included one individual detained between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m. at 23rd and Iowa streets, another taken into custody at about 8:30 a.m. in the parking lot for Hobby Lobby and El Potro Mexican cafe at 34th and Iowa streets, and a third taken into custody at about 9 a.m. in the parking lot for Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers and Kwik Trip at 25th and Iowa streets. The Lawrence Police Department did not confirm the detainments, and said on social media they had not been contacted by the Department of Homeland Security. Read what we know at the link in our bio.
