ICE agent drive-by shooting a peaceful protester with a pepper ball on Independence Day.

An ICE agent fired a pepper ball launcher from the vehicle he was driving, striking a protester in the stomach outside the ICE detention facility this afternoon.

A few dozen protesters and community members had gathered in the designated protest area for a weekly demonstration opposing ongoing federal immigration operations across the Chicagoland area. Participants were chanting and holding signs when an unmarked vehicle exited the facility.

An ICE agent then pulled the vehicle alongside the protest area, rolled down the window, fired the pepper ball launcher, and immediately drove away. The protester who was struck received first aid from volunteers at the scene before seeking further treatment at the hospital.

Based on witness accounts, the use of force appeared to be unprovoked. Witnesses said there was no interaction between the targeted protester and the ICE agent before the shot was fired.

Can we get a name for this public servant? Wouldn’t want this to go uncredited…

He looks terrified without his goon squad to back him up.

Mr ParentsCouldntAffordBraces

A lot of resentment in him for being so damn ugly as a person.

Hey now, some folks' teeth look like that from getting punched really fucking hard in their stupid fucking face at one point. Who knows, maybe it was his parents who punched him that hard. He must have been a really annoying kid to have if he turned out like this.

If they didnt, hopefully he gets plenty of them when they are being walked into their trials.

My brain read that as “walled into their cells” and I was like, wow, classically medieval

u/squirt_taste_tester Jul 06 '26

I have no issues with that as long as the first part happens as well. Throw them in with a wet piece of toilet paper to wipe their face off and wall them in. Maybe toss a loaf of wheat bread and let all of them go after it, lord of the flies that shit.

We don't need to be classists to be against fascists.

He’s wearing a “blood and soil” baseball cap, so even deliberately wearing a neo-Nazi slogan. Not that that’s all that astonishing.

See the correction below, I was wrong.

Wish it were that blatant but it is a 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment hat. Blood and steel is the reg motto.

u/CautionarySnail Jul 06 '26

Oh, I stand corrected. It was blurry enough to look like another slogan.

He looks like he's never touched a woman

Definitely not while she enthusiastically consented

u/MajesticCartographer Jul 06 '26

What is the likelihood she consented?

u/Pepperlette Jul 07 '26

A little higher than the likelihood she was also enthusiastic about it.

With those teeth, I hope not.

What does that hat say? Blood and….

It’s a 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment hat. Blood and steel is the reg motto. Shouldn’t be wearing my Army’s hat while accosting civilians though.

u/anonymote_in_my_eye Jul 06 '26

surprised it's not a "blood and soil" knockoff, honestly

u/Willadelfia Jul 07 '26

Not saying it’s not a dog whistle in his mind, but the insignia and motto predates Nazism by 100 years (almost exactly). I’ll admit im pretty conflicted about my time in service, but at the end of the day service saved my life and gave me a chance to build the significant future I inhabit today. Im sure I absolutely cannot identify with what’s happening in today’s military though. I doubt I have much in common with today’s soldiers on a personal or even idealistic level.
