ICE blockade near Kingman Airport: ‘We are just following orders’

KINGMAN, Ariz. – The Standard has received multiple reports on Friday, July 17 indicating that people were running through the fields across from the Mohave Airport Drive and Hwy 66. Eyewitness reports confirm that ICE agents in unmarked vehicles were and are in the vicinity, and that Mohave Airport Drive had been blockaded earlier today.

The Standard confirmed that ICE uniformed ICE agents were in fact in the vicinity in unmarked vehicles and that the blockade had been taken down at the time of this report. Calls to the City of Kingman Police Department and Mohave County Sheriffs Office by The Standard failed to ascertain any information by either agency confirming or denying. 

ICE temporarily detained a Standard representative. When ICE was questioned regarding the ‘stop’ an ICE agent was reported to be conducting surveillance. When asked how ICE could stop cars without reasonable suspicion the ICE agents stated “we are just following orders.”
