Political leaders in Maryland are calling for investigations into the conduct of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers following clashes with protesters during a federal operation in Frederick, a city about 50 miles northwest of Baltimore. Video footage shows ICE officers using batons on members of the public and driving vehicles onto sidewalks toward people.
Residents remain shaken more than a week after the incident. Activists have characterized the officers' actions as "unconscionable," while state officials have launched calls for a formal inquiry into the conduct during the operation.
