ICE shoots pepper spray at peaceful observer—from inside the safety of their car.
Jump out of car to spray her again from even closer point blank range—chasing her from behind as she runs away in pain.
Agents get in car to leave—then get back out to spray her a THIRD time until canister is empty.

The way that this administration is targeting and harassing Somalians in Minneapolis is disgusting and vile. Keep filming this because one day we are going to hold these agents accountable. Last I heard peacefully protesting doesn’t warrant being sprayed with chemical irritants.

Both Trump and Lindbergh’s grandfathers fled their homelands, a step ahead of law enforcement, a factual inconvenience that their grandsons never mentioned in their campaigns against others fleeing similar dire circumstances.

Sadly, it's not as though it's a surprise, giving their embrace of his "above the law" status.

Trump’s own Jack Booted Thugs in action. The woman was on a cane and took no agressive action towards the ICE Thug who cowardly sprayed her with mace or bear spray. And then joined with his fellow thugs to give her a beat down. This is Donald Trump and Republicans America. Is it yours? #ProudBlue
A masked ICE agent aggressively sprayed a woman protester directly in the face during a raid in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Another unacceptable act of violence against a peaceful protester that needs to be condemned and punished.

Home Depot could implement a policy requiring ICE to present a judicial warrant before operating on its property. Businesses are fully within their rights to decide who is allowed on their premises.

Meanwhile, layoffs have exploded to over 1.1M this year — the highest level since the pandemic.
