Man ‘violently’ arrested by ICE in Denver courthouse bathroom as young child watched, witness says
Arnie Carter stood on the third floor of the federal immigration courthouse in downtown Denver on Tuesday, monitoring the activities of federal agents who were walking around the halls.
The volunteer said he watched a man, with his partner and young son, leave the courtroom after an immigration hearing. Quickly, agents in plain clothes and masks grabbed the man and pushed him into the women’s bathroom. The man’s partner clung to him before agents threw the woman onto the floor, Carter said.
The immigration officials detained the man “very roughly, very violently” as their child watched, trembling and in tears, Carter said. Agents then took the man down the hallway and “disappeared him,” he said.
“They destroyed those people’s lives and they were brutal,” Carter said.
Carter said another volunteer was in the bathroom during the incident, yelling at the agents to stop and telling the couple in Spanish that they didn’t have to give up any information.
Immigration officers then detained, arrested, handcuffed and cited the legal observer, according to the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado. The observer, whom the organization did not name, was released but faced a citation under the code of federal regulations. It’s not clear what kind of citation the individual faces.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Denver office said in a social media post Tuesday that an agent was “assaulted” that day at the Denver Immigration Court while performing their law duties. The agency did not divulge any additional details, including whether the agent was injured of whether anyone was arrested.
ICE officials in Denver have not responded to The Denver Post’s requests for information on the courthouse incident this week.
The agency told 9News that an assault did occur during the incident, saying agents “were challenged and impeded by members of the public, during which a brief confrontation occurred.”
Carter said the “only violence I witnessed that day was from ICE.”
He said he can’t stop thinking about the little boy trembling in the hallway and the look of sheer terror on the woman’s face.
“They deserve better,” Carter said. “They deserve to be treated as humans.”
At least eight people — six adults and two children — were detained at Denver’s federal immigration court in early June, advocates said in a news conference earlier this month.
The increased presence of immigration officers is a tactic linked to a larger strategy by President Donald Trump’s administration to help carry out its proposed mass deportations of immigrants who are in the country illegally.
In Colorado, ICE officers are prohibited from making civil arrests in or around state courthouses. However, federal courts aren’t governed by that 2020 state law.
Reports from around the country suggest ICE has begun arresting people at courthouses immediately after their immigration cases are dismissed or closed. If these individuals have been in the country for less than two years, they can be subject to expedited removal processes — which come with far fewer legal protections.
The White House this month demanded ICE sharply increase arrests of migrants in the U.S. illegally, Reuters reported, changing tactics to achieve higher quotas of 3,000 arrests per day, far above the earlier target of 1,000 per day.
The administration’s push has prompted widespread protests in Denver and cities across the country.

Von Miller has made it abundantly clear that he would like to return to the Denver Broncos and finish his career where it started. Miller has made that fact known at every possible opportunity, including a Von’s Vision charity event on Wednesday.
“I would love to bring back those Super Bowl 50 vibes, love to assist, to be the vice president to Bo Nix, to Courtland Sutton,” Miller said. “I’ve been the guy and also I’ve been the vice president as well. I would love to contribute to us getting back to the glory land, to holding up that trophy.”
Miller went on to note that he has lobbied coach Sean Payton to sign him (Payton coached Miller at a flag football tournament earlier this year).
Unfortunately for Miller, it sounds like there are no plans for a potential reunion with his old club. The Denver Post‘s Luca Evans reported that “as of last week,” there have been no talks between the Broncos and Miller’s representatives about a potential contract.
With a crowded outside linebacker room, Denver seems unlikely to re-sign Miller, but the 37-year-old pass rusher said he will “for sure” play in 2026. After totaling nine sacks with the Washington Commanders last fall, Miller will probably be able to find a home as a rotational pass rusher, but it might not be with the Broncos.

Denver Summit FC delays opening of Centennial Stadium, will play next 2 home games at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park
Denver Summit FC will play their next two home games at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
Colorado’s first professional women’s soccer team was hoping to be at their new training facility in Centennial by July, but team says recent rain delayed construction, so they need to push back by two weeks.
That means their July 3 and July 12 matches will be at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City.
Summit FC is hopeful to be at their stadium in Centennial for their July 18 game against the Portland Thorns.
Centennial Stadium will ultimately become Summit’s training facility. They’ll play their games there until 2028, when they hope to move into their official home stadium at the Santa Fe Yards at Broadway and I-25. The Santa Fe Yards stadium will have room for more than 14,000 fans.
