"This video shows ICE officers shoving me and sprayed me in the face with a large quantity of chemical weapons. I was standing there incapacitated and vulnerable from a barrage of chemical pellets they had shot me with moments earlier. ICE gave no orders or warnings. All around me, they were slamming peaceful protesters into fences and into the ground, and moving in formation to isolate and assault anyone who was vulnerable."
"The American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois filed their lawsuit this week, accusing ICE of escalating violence against protesters outside an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois. Videos from a protest last month include shots of Black being pepper-sprayed and hit at one point with a pellet projectile. Black has posted video himself from the incident, accusing agents of assaulting him."
The ACLU of Illinois filed a lawsuit accusing ICE of escalating violent tactics against peaceful protesters outside an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois. Video evidence shows Reverend David Black being pepper-sprayed, struck by pellet projectiles, and posting footage accusing agents of assault. Black reported being shot multiple times with chemical pellets, including wounds to the head, and said ICE issued no orders or warnings before deploying force. Protesters were reportedly shoved, slammed into fences and the ground, and isolated by officers. Black demanded apologies and called for repurposing the facility into a preschool.
