ICE deployed tear gas on crowded public street--because they were upset being stuck in Chicago traffic.

"A 2-year-old child required medical care after inhaling the chemical agents—adults were vomiting on the sidewalk.

Local elementary school was forced to lock down for recess due to the presence of agents.

The incident occurred close to Funston Elementary School in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois."

Fucking outrageous!!!

https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/federal-immigration-agent-throws-tear-gas-canister-logan-square-street/

Federal agents threw a tear gas canister at people on a busy street in the Logan Square neighborhood on Friday outside a grocery store and near an elementary school. Cell phone video shows what appears to be uniformed federal immigration agents throwing a tear gas canister from their SUV just before noon near the Rico Fresh supermarket in Logan Square. A person on a scooter was stopped in front of the SUV at the time.

Surveillance video showing an overhead view of what happened shows the street filling with tear gas clouds and people starting to disperse. "I felt tear gas immediately hit my eyes and nose," witness Albany Rodriguez said. Rodriguez works nearby and recorded video of the incident. "I just think these tactics are disgusting and they're inhumane," she said. After throwing the tear gas canister, the agents left the scene.

Neighbors were outraged that the incident happened in front of Funston Elementary School. Volunteers arrived at the school ahead of dismissal to make sure kids got home safely. "There was a call put out to help protect kids as they try to walk home and not have to deal with this violence," volunteer Tania Kadakia said. "I can't believe this is the United States of America."

Sat Oct 4, 2025, 12:40 PM

which is not "uniformed" at all. Below that they've got generic greenish/khaki on - "uniform" in the sense that it looks like the jackets you used to be able to pick up at Army Surplus stores (usually ex-German army). There is a vague yellow shoulder patch, I suppose. But 10 years ago, if you saw them on American streets, you'd think "terrorists". And it would be described as a "chemical weapons attack". 20 years ago (ie under Dubya), it would have been a WMD attack.

They were jammed intentionally, but it was still a jam.

The scooter might also have had a mechanical malfunction. We and you do not know.

One might reasonably assume that their progress was blocked by the unmanned scooter directly in front of their vehicle. You suggest that the scooter might have had a mechanical malfunction. I can equally suggest that it was abandoned by a protester which, if so, I applaud his or her effort.

A malfunction can't be seen by you or me or ICE.

The rider can be clearly seen, so abandonment is not plausible.

In country awash in a sea of firearms, it's only a matter of time before someone gets pushed too far, some weird situation happens, and boom. I'm surprised it hasn't happened already.

They held everyone probably just to add them to the daily body count total.

Separated the black tenants from the brown ones too.

ICE stops family at gunpoint—smash car window on top of newborn baby.

"I was screaming that there was a baby. But they didn’t care," cried mother.

“I covered my baby with my body—I was so scared he was going to be hurt because glass was landing on him."

She is heard on video repeatedly asking to see the signed warrant—agent flippantly replies, "It’s at the office."

by dropping a 40'chassis with
an empty shipping container with no landing gear deployed at both ends of a street crowded with ICE vehicles. A scooter they could at least move out of the way. That alone would cause a real traffic jam and probably scare the heck out of even the most macho of macho men. It might make a rogue group think twice about conducting illegal and dangerous activity around children.
I'm sure the neighborhood would make sure no harm would come to them because it would make things worse. Kind of like a brake check. "You're driving dangerously close to my vehicle with my family inside, please back off."

and after the next election, assuming we can regain control of this mess, demand of our Democratic leaders that ICE and Border Patrol be disbanded. There may be a need for an organization to enforce border and immigration policies but these aren't it. These pricks need to be permanently unemployed for the rest of their lives and some of them belong in prison.....behind bars inside cells.

BUT…. WILL IT GET EVERYONE CONCERNED TO THE POLLS NEXT NOVEMBER?

Or are we just blowing off words and actions.

Let’s get this shit stopped with actions, not just words. Voting and showing the major turnout’s like we had with Obama will prove we are not going to fuck around…. We need the house… senate would really be a bonus, but house is a necessity.
