“An immigration officer in southwest Colorado who was caught on video grabbing a protester by the hair and hurling her down an embankment last October was charged with assault and criminal mischief on Tuesday, the local district attorney said. The case against the officer, Nicholas Rice, is one of a handful in which local prosecutors have filed criminal charges against federal agents carrying out President Trump’s immigration crackdown. It comes five days after local prosecutors in Minneapolis charged an immigration agent with assault after motorists said he had brandished a gun at them. Sean Murray, the district attorney in the mountain town of Durango, Colo., said he had charged Mr. Rice with third-degree assault, a misdemeanor, and criminal mischief. He said Mr. Rice was charged through a summons, not an arrest warrant.” (04/22/26)
