Tear Gas Deployed as ICE Protest Erupts at Chicago Site
Story by Jenn Gidman with Newser.AI • 1h

Federal agents in riot gear deployed tear gas on demonstrators outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in suburban Chicago on Friday, as protests over the Trump administration's intensified immigration crackdown reached a boiling point. The confrontation erupted after protesters blocked a vehicle from leaving the Broadview ICE site, per NBC News, citing NBC Chicago. Media at the scene reported that tear gas made it difficult to breathe, forcing crowds to disperse.
 
Bushra Amiwala, a Democratic congressional candidate who attended the protest, described the agents' actions as "chaos," claiming there was no justification for what she called violence against peaceful demonstrators. Another Dem congressional candidate at the protest, Kat Abughazaleh, said she she was thrown onto the ground by feds and slammed with tear gas as she stood arm-in-arm with others in front of a driveway that was blocking the vehicle, per the AP. "This is what it looks like when ICE violates our First Amendment rights," Abughazaleh wrote on X, showing a video of her encounter.

The Department of Homeland Security, however, labeled the protesters as "rioters," alleging they surrounded the building, assaulted officers, used tear gas themselves, slashed tires, and trespassed on private property, per NBC. DHS claimed local police didn't respond to repeated calls for assistance and said at least three arrests were made.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Of course the Commies were so daring, the City of Chicago had assured them that their cops wouldn't respond ... sheesh

(Good to see the Feds fighting back!)

If they had responded, they'd as likely have helped the fascists, not the ICE agents.

Unfortunately, that is a possibility. So much for the 'thin blue line'.
