My message to Republicans based on what I’ve seen firsthand at a No Kings protest and via photos and video of protests nationwide: Y’all whacked a hornet’s nest. You can pretend the swarm ain’t there, but that won’t keep you from getting stung.

About 13 officers in a crowd of community members and protesters were exposed to the tear gas. This is the second time CPD officers have been gassed by ICE while trying to work with them.
The move violates a judge’s order telling federal agents to rein in excessive force. trib.al/TiKgLI5
