Unexpected ICE raid at Arkansas park raises more questions and concerns [View all]

DOVER, Ark. (KATV) — A video posted on YouTube by Adventuras en Arkansas has captured a controversial incident involving ICE agents and U.S. Forest Service officers at the Long Pool Recreation Area.

The footage shows officers questioning and detaining visitors, with several individuals being placed in a van amid cries and screams from family and friends.

A person familiar with the incident told Channel 7 that the agents arrived following a littering complaint.

Immigration law attorney Nathan Bogart expressed surprise at the situation, saying, "Me personally, I have never encountered a situation where a littering complaint resulted in ICE responding."
