New ICE activity reported in Craig, Steamboat Springs

New U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity has been reported in Moffat and Routt counties, according to Jerry Hernandez, executive director of local nonprofit Integrated Community. Hernandez said the organization received multiple reports from local community members regarding ICE arrests in the Yampa Valley on Tuesday, including at the Sunlight Crossing apartments on the west side of Steamboat Springs. On Wednesday afternoon, citizens of Craig contacted the newspaper and said that ICE officers had closed a portion of Barclay St. due to an apparent operation on the street. This was verified by personnel at Yampa Valley Kids who also emphasized that the operation was contained to the street and not targeting any particular businesses. Officials from the Craig Police Department said they were not aware of the situation. Integrated Community, which assists and supports immigrants, posted a warning on its Facebook page just before 1 p.m.
