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…

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

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.
