............“Consulate officials immediately prevented the ICE officer from entering the consular building, thus ensuring the protection of the Ecuadorians who were present at the time and activating the emergency protocols issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility,” the ministry wrote on X.

A “note of protest” was filed with the U.S. embassy in Ecuador so that similar attempts aren’t made at other consulates, the ministry said.

The State Department, Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
