Chicago #police officers, who have been called to the scenes…[by protesters], have been exposed to #TearGas from federal agents twice in the last 2 weeks.

As the intensity of the #Trump admin’s #immigration crackdown has risen, residents of #Chicago are increasingly pushing back with fury.

In the last several weeks, Chicagoans have formed volunteer groups to monitor their neighborhoods for federal immigration agents, posting alerts on Facebook & in Signal group chats when agents are seen.

As the agents left, they released #TearGas, apparently without warning, sending people coughing & running for cover. Among those affected by the gas were 13 #Chicago #Police Dept officers, CPD said, & at least one officer was seen rinsing his eyes out with water from a neighbor’s garden hose.

A spox for #DHS said that the federal agents were conducting an #immigration enforcement operation when 2 people tried to flee & hit the agents’ vehicle [ #lies].

Federal agents deployed #TearGas on #Chicago residents & more than a dozen #police officers Tuesday [in defiance of a #CourtOrder], the latest clash in the nation’s 3rd-largest city as the #Trump admin has carried out its #immigration *crackdown*.

The clash began Tues morning when #FederalAgents were seen chasing a car through a working-class, heavily Latino neighborhood on the city’s far South Side, witnesses said.

Members of the #NationalGuard faced off w/ #protesters in #LosAngeles on Sun, & #TearGas was fired at a growing crowd that gathered outside a federal complex hours after the federal troops arrived in the city on #Trump’s orders.

The confrontation broke out in front of the Metropolitan Detention Center in #LA, as a group of demonstrators SHOUTED INSULTS at the guard lined shoulder to shoulder behind riot shields.

Tear gas for insults.

A MSNBC reporter on the scene said the #NationalGuard fired the #TearGas when #protesters were only approaching them. Approaching. That’s it. No other provocation.

🚨🚨 #NationalGuard members or other agents, it’s not clear which, just fired what appeared to be #TearGas at the crowd outside the detention center in downtown #LosAngeles, scattering #protesters who coughed from the smoke. Others helped them wash out their eyes.

At least one protester was hit by a #RubberBullet.
