In Minneapolis, USA, ICE officers used pepper spray and tear gas on a sizable group of demonstrators, many of whom had kids with them.
After a brief car chase, officers also shot a man in the leg, claiming he was in the country illegally from Venezuela.
According to DHS, after the man got out of his car and engaged in a “altercation” with an ICE officer, two more people “attacked” the officer from a neighboring building.The officer fired defensive bullets out of fear for his life and safety because three people were ambushing him, according to the DHS.
In a neighbourhood near where Renee Good was shot and k.!lled by an ICE officer a week ago, locals came out and began whistling to alert others that ICE were nearby.
Witnesses said the officers began to deploy pepper spray and tear gas into crowds of protesters, where children were present.
Children were seen with snotty noses and red eyes as they were carried away after being exposed to the chemical agents.
Minneapolis officials have slammed the shooting and the use of tear gas against their locals, telling ICE: “Leave the city and state immediately. We stand by our immigrant and refugee communities – know that you have our full support.”
