27 Chicago Police Officers Affected By Tear Gas, Superintendent Says
Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling told reporters Monday that 27 of his police officers were hit by tear gas that had been deployed by federal immigration agents Saturday on the city’s South Side.
The agents had been called to the area after protesters clashed with federal immigration operations.
“They did not have the equipment to fight off chemical agents, and they were affected by it,” Snelling said of the officers.
“Were there any major injuries? No. Our officers are resilient and tough,” he said. “But we made sure that it was documented, just in case they had some after-effects from it. We just want to make sure those officers are safe.”
Snelling defended local officers’ presence, even though local leaders in Chicago and Illinois have condemned the Trump administration’s harsh immigration crackdown.
“This is still our city. And we still have a responsibility to maintain safety and calm in our city,” the superintendent said.
Defend your city! RESIST!

Allegedly is a photo of the felon at an Epstein party, "dancing" with half naked teenage girls.

That's exactly what the felon based his invasion and occupation of Portland on, and a judge he appointed blocked it, calling the felon's claim untethered with the facts. Iow a bald faced lie.
My eyes STILL water too much from the tear gas cloud that drifted over me at the Broadway Speer intersection when ICE allegedly had to clear the intersection during the No Kings protest, and my eyesight deteriorated a little.
