In Colorado, after Routt County Commissioner Angelica Salinas recorded agents from her vehicle stopping people and patrolling mobile home parks near Steamboat Springs, she reported that she was followed and boxed in at a nearby post office. Agents left when they saw her husband. An ICE spokesperson later called her account a "blatant and pathetic lie," releasing a photo it said showed her car on a road in Oak Creek, while Salinas maintained that armed, masked agents in unmarked vehicles had been positioned behind and beside her car.
