Exactly What We Voted For

We love the smell of tear gas in the morning:

• Tensions escalated at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview Friday where, during a morning demonstration, an ICE agent shoved a congressional candidate to the ground. Later, immigration agents fired tear gas and pepper balls into the crowd, and two protesters were arrested.

  The demonstration, which began about 5 a.m., drew dozens to the facility to protest the detention of people rounded up in President Donald Trump’s aggressive deportation campaign targeting the Chicago area.

  In a video circulating on social media, Kat Abughazaleh, a Democratic primary candidate running for the 9th Congressional District seat, was thrown to the ground by an ICE agent in fully camouflaged uniform.

  Abughazaleh told the Chicago Sun-Times she was thrown to the ground twice by ICE agents and was helping another protester when an agent lifted her by her chest, carried her and threw her onto the asphalt.

  “I wasn’t surprised, and that’s part of why we’re here,” Abughazaleh said. “Everyone here is at least a little bit scared, but mostly I’m angry and we need to get the facility shut down.”

  ICE agents used tear gas and shot pepper balls, she said — some of which hit her legs — around 6 a.m., while shouting “your First Amendment rights are on the sidewalk.”

Um, that's true actually. You protest on the public way. You don't get to trespass, which is what occurred according to every video we saw....the ones from actual unbiased news sources, not the Chicago media.

In the meantime, keep supporting the criminals who are rapidly bankrupting shithole blue cities and states and pretty much securing electoral victories for the next few cycles. 

By the way, does anyone know if it was actual CS gas or just pepper aerosols?
