Four protesters, ranging in age from early twenties to late seventies, were arrested on charges of unlawful trespass and resisting arrest during a demonstration at an ICE digital surveillance center in Williston, Vermont. The protesters blocked entrances to impede ICE operations, and the property manager said he asked police to remove them after they refused to leave. One of those arrested, Peter Booth, had previously been cited for trespassing during a similar protest in February, when 11 people were arrested and two others were cited; Chittenden County State's Attorney Sarah George declined to prosecute any of those involved in that earlier action. All four arrestees are scheduled to appear in court on June 30, 2026.
