“The use of force that I’ve seen has been exemplary — the least amount of force necessary to accomplish the mission,” Bovino told @cbsnews.com Friday. “If someone strays into a pepper ball, then that’s on them. Don’t protest and don’t trespass.”

Around half the crowd dispersed after that gas volley.

Folks have regrouped now.

ICE still on the roof, eyeing protesters.

Chanting, "you're on the wrong side! You're on the wrong side!"

Federal agents used explosives to enter a U.S. citizen’s home and entered — guns drawn — on a baby, a 6-year-old, and their mother. She believes it’s because her boyfriend attended an ICE protest where he accidentally hit a cop car (and was released by cops).

Gaza is about to enter a real famine. The price of a bag of flour is $400. If it is available, it is scarce. I do not know what to say. We have said a lot, but we hope that some aid will enter.
