Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers:

“We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

"The WRAP is the subject of a growing number of federal lawsuits likening incorrect usage of the device to punishment and even torture, whether used in a jail or by immigration authorities during international flights. Among advocates’ concerns is that ICE is not tracking the WRAP’s use as required by federal law when officers use force."

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].

“This incident is not isolated & reflects a growing & dangerous trend of illegal *aliens* violently resisting arrest & *agitators & criminals* ramming cars into our law enforcement officers,” #DHS [lied] in a statement. The statement [lied] that federal agents used “crowd control measures” after a group of people gathered & turned hostile.

Instead, an agent got out of the van & walked up to the SUV, trying to open its door. When that was unsuccessful, the agent returned to the van & quickly pulled away, hitting the side of the SUV as they sped away.
When the agents were driving away, DHS’s stmnt claims Brockman “threw objects” at a #BorderPatrol car. Agents then arrested her for assaulting a federal law enforcement officer.
#DHS did not answer why Brockman was released without being charged with that offense.

#Trump #Chicago #law

#DHS said in a stmnt that #BorderPatrol agents were operating in the area when “violent agitators” blocked agents with their cars. The agents then slammed into a car they say was blocking the street as they were leaving the scene, acc/to the stmnt.

Video reviewed by the #Chicago Sun-Times shows a black SUV stopped diagonally in front of the federal agents’ silver Chrysler minivan just as they were about to leave. The agents did NOT try to go around the SUV.
