State investigators will look into an incident in which an apparent federal agent threw a woman to the ground during a protest in Durango earlier this week, the Colorado Bureau of Investigations announced Thursday.

Durango Police Chief Brice Current requested the investigation, according to the CBI statement.

The Durango protest on Tuesday was over the earlier arrest and detention of a Colombian man, Fernando Jaramillo-Solano, and his two children. The trio was detained on their way to school. The family has an active asylum case and has been in Colorado for 18 months, according to the Durango-based nonprofit Compañeros: Four Corners Immigrant Resource Center.

During the protest, held outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office, a law enforcement officer, who CBI says appears to be a federal agent, was video recorded grabbing a woman’s phone and pushing her to the ground. The video was published by The Colorado Sun.

CBI will investigate whether there were state criminal law violations during the incident and then give the completed investigation to the 6th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

Colorado Governor Jared Polis, a Democrat, said Wednesday that ICE did not inform his office about the operation to detain Jaramillo-Solano.

“The federal government’s lack of transparency about its immigration actions in Durango and in the free state of Colorado remains extremely maddening. The federal government should prioritize apprehending and prosecuting dangerous criminals, no matter where they come from, and keep our communities safe instead of snatching up children and breaking up families,” he wrote in a post on social media.
