Energy is very high. No room to stand in the driveway. Loud chants of “fuck ICE!”
There’s a lot of people. Probably closer to 500
Feds are shooting pepper balls from the roof. I see some folks covered in it but crowd is undeterred
Someone on a megaphone: “If you think some goddamn teargas is gonna make us go away, you’ve got another thing coming”
A handful of random bursts of pepper balls shot by feds on the roof so far. There’s more feds that have been lined up behind the gate for over half an hour but have yet to come out. Crowd has been chanting and singing bella ciao
They just shot a single canister of teargas from the roof, but far back and behind the crowd. Gas not even lingering or visible here. That was very odd
This was right when the teargas got shot. Very odd
It’s been near impossible to see the roof cops. They keep hiding behind the flood lights.
Heavy gassing now
Very brutal arrest. Someone got tackled and hit head on concrete
Took off mask 4 blocks away and got it bad it’s all over the neighborhood. A local walking her dog asked if they gassed and ran inside coughing.
Near the park now and a little girl maybe 5 years old got out of the car. She’s saying “oww” and coughing, an older woman with her rushed her inside
