U.S. citizen briefly detained by ICE, later released after showing identification
Aug 10, 2026 · Norfolk, VA

Britney Ramirez Corona, a U.S. citizen, was detained by ICE agents on Tidewater Drive along with her husband and brothers-in-law during a targeted operation. She was later released after showing her identification and documentation. At a protest that followed the arrests, Corona described her fear of ICE interactions, saying "I fear every day, I carry my registrations with me because I don't know how they're gonna treat me one day" and expressed shock that showing her I.D. did not prevent her detention.
