A group of approximately 50 residents gathered in Oswego, New York, on Wednesday to assist two fugitives during a seven-hour standoff with Border Patrol. The incident began around 3:30 p.m. when the men, who had a federal warrant for their arrest, climbed onto the roof of a home to evade capture. Footage from the scene showed residents chanting, "Let them go!" as they attempted to help the fugitives escape. One of the men was lifted down from the roof by neighbors, who then guided him toward the street. Reports indicate that both suspects managed to flee in waiting vehicles. The Oswego City School District placed Charles E. Riley Elementary School under a lockout as a precaution during the incident, but later confirmed that students were dismissed safely.
