Protester with Captain America shield bundled into ICE facility in Chicago

This is the moment that an ICE protester wielding a Captain America shield was forced into an immigration facility after he threw a tear gas canister at enforcement agents. Footage shared on Friday (19 September) shows the individual, who is wearing a jacket with USA written on the sleeves, throwing the canister at ICE officers, who immediately swarm him and drag him inside the Illinois facility. Protesters have been staging frequent demonstrations outside the building ever since the Trump administration suggested it would be ramping up ICE operations in Chicago, dubbed “Operation Midway Blitz”. The Department of Homeland Security said the operation will "target the criminal illegal aliens who flocked to Chicago and Illinois”.

    That whole crowd should have swarmed those 4 grabbing captain America… He did nothing except return the property that the ICE agents dropped on the sidewalk.

    We need more people willing to take a hit for the team

      The ICE agents should be fined for littering.

    They toss the canister at the protesters so casually, and then suddenly it’s a big deal when it’s aimed at them, with all their riot gear to protect them no less.

    It’s like the game of hot potato, if someone throws anything at you, of course you’re gonna reflexively throw it right back. It’s moronic to not expect a back and forth lol.

      That’s exactly what they are counting on. The smallest excuse to use all those expensive toys daddy buys them with taxpayer monies.

        I would assume that knowing their police officers prevented me from saying the obvious.

    I’ve never been to an ICE protest, how many ICE gravy seals are there? Are we talking like…25? 100? 1000?

    Just trying to get an idea of what it would take numbers and arms wise to form a resistance and take them out - for a single event. Obviously, things would escalate over time.
