"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!!!

[paleotn]

[mopinko]

22. yup.

[yellow dahlia]

33. They are recruiting the wrong people...

[LymphocyteLover]

[superpatriotman]

2. I never thought of that before

Could be a traffic time saver. /s

[Arazi]

3. Roid rage instead of road rage 😡

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. Thug rage, roid rage, road rage. All of it. Abuse of power. Hope they choked on their own gas.

Brave motorcyclist for not yielding.

[BattleRow]

7. We have officially entered the "Age of Rage".

4. Bluesky posts from George Conway about this.

Thugs.

43. Take a picture of ICE-boy's license plate

And his VIN (on dash, inside the windshield)
We will use it later when the tide turns, when we can begin to prosecute those Posers
Kinda like we did with J6-ers

[taxi]

8. Let us through, we're impotent.

Important. My bad. Sorry about. Important.

[Grokenstein]

40. Nah, you had it right the first time, wink wink

[Bernardo de La Paz]

9. There could be bylaws and state laws against releasing noxious substances without cause. . . . . nt

[enough]

10. Another infestation of thugs on American streets.

[Celerity]

11. A scooter was stopped in front of the SUV at the time.

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."

12. Yeah. So?

[Celerity]

14. It wasn't a traffic jam. Either way they had ZERO reason to gas the people.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. Exactly. Jam or no jam is not the issue. Irresponsible over-reach by thugs is the issue. . . . nt

[muriel_volestrangler]

28. I'd dispute CBS's description of "uniformed" - they're masked with balaclavas

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.

[republianmushroom]

13. America's Gestapo at work.

[boonecreek]

15. I grew up in Logan Square,

although about 10 blocks east of there. They were targeting a Latino grocery store.
Absolute thugs.

[Gimpyknee]

17. The title is misleading.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. No. The thugs had no cause to release noxious gases. Whether the jam up was intentional or not is not the issue.

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.

[Gimpyknee]

34. Sorry, but the title clearly said ICE agents reacted to being stuck in a Chicago traffic jam.

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.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

35. If you are going to nitpick, then don't claim it was abandoned when it clearly was not

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

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

[pnwmom]

38. The video clearly shows someone sitting there. He didn't abandon it.

18. IF YOU CAN'T STAND THE TRAFFIC, GET THE HELL OUT OF CHICAGO.

[paleotn]

20. One or more ICE thugs are going to get their ass shot.

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.

[hunter]

26. I think Trump is trying to provoke that.

Then he can call them heroes, fly the flags at half mast, and parade around with their corpses.

It would be Charlie Kirk one hundred fold.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

23. gosh I wonder if this force should be defunded or abolished or something

[Geechie]

24. "Fuck them kids"

Should be branded onto the forehead of each of these thugs

[underpants]

32. My wife just read me the story about that. The raid on a whole apartment building

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

Separated the black tenants from the brown ones too.

[Dave Bowman]

25. This is getting insane, it shows what happens when a governmental organization goes nuts because there's no consequences

[womanofthehills]

27. ICE smashes a window in on top of a newborn baby. The Trump regime are lawless criminals terrorizing the population.

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."

42. These guys feel real big and strong

With their guns pulled and long guns pointed at unarmed people.

[llmart]

44. TPS

They all have tiny penis syndrome.

[calimary]

46. That'd be my guess.

Gotta project power and dominance one way or another.

[UpInArms]

51. Thugs and criminals

No law enforcement officer is entitled to be violent

[sakabatou]

29. I keep wondering how much lower ICE can get, and they will always have their shovels out

[pfitz59]

30. Fucking Gestapo

We will need a new 'Nuremburg' trial once the Trumpies are ousted.

[TommyT139]

31. Either cops are helping citizens

...or they're helping the regime.

It's time to pick a side.

[B.See]

36. GESTAPO tactics. Nazi Germany, happening now, in America.

[Evolve Dammit]

37. Nazis. Just fucking secret police Nazis. And they revel in it.

[Initech]

39. Fuck this fucking administration!

[Figarosmom]

41. They had plenty of room to go around the cycle...nt

[Buddyzbuddy]

45. It's not like somebody caused this traffic jam

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."

[C Moon]

47. Of course the criminal who threw the can had a mask on.

[LPBBEAR]

48. We will need to remain angry

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.

[Abstractartist]

50. Yup.... This shit sucks

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.
