Eagle County residents rally in Edwards to protest recent ICE activity

Roughly 40 people gathered in groups in Edwards on Friday evening to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents’ presence in Eagle County.

The gathering was centered around the intersection of Edwards Village Boulevard and U.S. Highway 6, not far from the scene of detainments made earlier in the week in Edwards which affected several locals.

Eagle County local Alex Sellers said he helped organize the protest as a result of those arrests.

“(The protest) was an emergency response, because we just found out ICE was setting up operations in Edwards,” Sellers said.

Sellers held a sign saying “Due process is due,” one of many signs that could be read from the vehicles passing through the roundabout on Friday. A few of the signs said, simply, “ICE is here.”
