These pepper balls aren't just an irritant; they can cause plenty of damage when aimed directly at faces or other fragile areas. This is what one did to a protester's lip last Friday.

Broadview, IL today

At the Broadview ICE facility, a woman stood in front of a van & was shoved down, then pepper sprayed. Nearly passing out, she was helped across the street when an ICE agent ran at her put arm around her throat. She was arrested, taken behind the fence, & later transported by 🚑 to a hospital.

This morning on September 19th tear gas, pepper balls, and smoke grenades were used against protesters outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Illinois. In total four protesters have been pulled behind the fence wall inside the facility.

ICE shot and killed a man in the Chicago suburbs last week. In the days since, we've seen a laundry list of escalating violent behavior from the feds: reckless driving, destroyed property, dawn raids, intimidation and threats against reporters, witnesses assaulted and threatened with pepper spray.

A dozen or so people showed up in downtown Greenville, SC toprotest Trump's latest executive order criminalizing homelessness. Organizers say the executive order does nothing to address the root causes of homelessness and instead focuses on removing unhoused people from public visibility.

To those cheering on deportations and concentration camps... Your life has been made better bc of #immigrants. They haven't harmed you or put your way of life at risk. Just thought you should know. They give into the system you benefit from while they get little to no benefits for that same system.
