Immigration and Customs Enforcement claims that officers were tracking down an Ecuadorian immigrant who ran into the building, which an agency spokesperson claims was “not clearly marked” as the consulate.
“Unknown to the ICE officers at the time, the building housed the Consulate of Ecuador, however, the building was not clearly marked as the Ecuadorian Consulate,” the spokesperson said.
“The ICE officers were focused on arresting the criminal illegal alien, their own safety, and the safety of the public,” the statement added.
“At no time did the ICE officers enter the Consulate.
The city is reeling in the wake of the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, two U.S. citizens and demonstrators who were shot and killed by immigration officers this month.
