U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers “boxed in” Routt County Commissioner Angelica Salinas at the post office in Oak Creek after she took a video of operations from her vehicle, Salinas said in a Wednesday social media post.
“I don’t know what would have happened if my husband were not in the car with me,” she said in the video.
Salinas further explained that the officers “took off” when they saw her husband in the car with her.
