Texas fire department helps ICE detain roofers—using tower ladder truck that should be reserved for local emergency.
Agents grab at workers' legs to yank them off multi-story house—even using pepper spray atop roof.
Firefighters did equip ICE with safety harness for this risky series of maneuvers.

People all over Portland, Oregon were impacted by the chemical warfare deployed by the feds tonight. Here’s a thread of some Portlanders experiences who weren’t even at the protest:
Lots and lots of teargas and various other munitions. People yelling for medics. Ambulance came for one person already and there was a brutal arrest amidst all of this

Somebody sent me footage of the feds shooting out a local residents window. This was right after the first barrage of teargas was deployed. They told me “this was a deliberate attack and we were nowhere near the entrance (of the ICE facility).”
