Video from Holland, Michigan shows two ICE agents struggling to take a man into custody after he repeatedly resisted arrest during an immigration operation.
Footage captures the suspect refusing to comply with commands as the agents attempt to detain him in snowy conditions. Throughout the encounter, the man can be heard saying, “It’s ok, it’s ok,” while continuing to physically resist efforts to restrain him.
The icy ground and the suspect’s ongoing resistance made the arrest more difficult, forcing both agents to work together to prevent the situation from escalating further. Despite multiple opportunities to comply peacefully, the man continued to struggle, prolonging the encounter.
Authorities stress that resisting arrest increases the risk of injury for everyone involved — officers and suspects alike — especially in hazardous conditions such as snow and ice.
The incident highlights the challenges federal agents face during routine enforcement operations and how quickly arrests can become dangerous when individuals refuse lawful orders.
