#ICE & #BorderPatrol’s use of #TearGas injures, sickens & *tests* [breaks] the #law
Federal #immigration agents say chemical agents are needed to disperse *violent* [people exercising their right to #FreeSpeech] protesters. But videos show officers directly firing at people in aggressive & “unorthodox” ways.

#CBP & #ICE officers have deployed #TearGas in cities around the country, but its use has been especially prevalent in Chicago, where the #Trump admin launched Operation Midway Blitz in Sept….

in reply to Nonilex • • •Since then, federal officers have thrown #ChemicalAgents out of vehicles on city streets, creating a hazard for motorists. They have thrown #TearGas canisters near stores & #schools, exposing #children, #pregnant women & #older people to the noxious gas. And on numerous occasions federal officers have fired pepper balls directly at protesters—in one case, striking a pastor in the head.

in reply to Nonilex • • •The use of #TearGas has persisted in recent days despite a #CourtOrder forbidding officers from using #ChemicalAgents against #demonstrators & #journalists unless they pose a safety threat. Last week, Gregory #Bovino, the #BorderPatrol official leading the #Chicago operation, was videotaped throwing a tear-gas canister into a crowd. In another incident, #immigration officers deployed tear gas as #families were walking to a Halloween parade.

in reply to Nonilex • • •…The frequent use of #ChemicalAgents raises questions about training & tactics being used by #ICE officers & #BorderPatrol agents. The latter are now heavily involved in #immigration arrests FAR from the US-Mexico #border; most federal agents have scant experience dealing with #protesters in #urban areas. #DHS claims *assaults* [people defending themselves] against officers have risen significantly.

The Chicago Police need to start arresting DHS personnel.
