Robert Iron Shield, a Native American from Standing Rock Sioux tribe, was awoken around 6 am by loud banging on the door from federal agents. He presented his ID, passport and tribal documents and began live-streaming. “We’re falling to the way of Nazi Germany” he said of the raids.

Crystal Villa, 41, said ICE woke her up around 6 am. She showed me Ring footage in which an agent asked if she had drugs, if she was with anyone and if she spoke English. She said the neighbors mobilized & began texting each other not to open their doors. She was born and raised in CO, she said.

“I was shocked” Villa said. She had just recently got the Ring camera as talks of ICE raids increased. She said her apt complex has been plagued with roaches and poor living conditions but that they are neighbors who look out for one another. “We are not in nobody’s business” she said.

Both Villa and Iron Shield said the federal agents were armed with large guns, banging on doors and asking questions. They said they began to hear activists shout not to open doors or answer questions.
