US District Court Judge Sara Ellis said she will issue a sweeping injunction limiting the #UseOfForce by federal #immigration agents in the #Chicago area after she found a litany of violations were committed in recent weeks.

Ellis on Thursday painstakingly detailed instances across the Chicago area in which #BorderPatrol agents used force against residents in violation of her #TRO.

The #Trump admin also treated anti-#ICE #protesters worse because of the content of their #speech & impermissibly prevented the free exercise of #religion by #shooting, without warning, those engaged in prayer with #PepperBalls & #TearGas, both violations of the #FirstAmendment, Ellis said.

What’s really rich about this in a nightmare dystopian way?

Apparently, shooting pastors including clergymen point blank in the face with pepper balls is what literally gets them up and off in the morning.

Here I’m referring to the incident over in Oakland/Alameda where a federal agent shoots a pepper ball point blank into the face of a clergy man. The photograph of this agent shows a wet stain at the crotch of his trousers.

Apparently, what Christian nationalist care about is the right for one of their members to take out whatever anger they have on men of the cloth.

Protesters arrested at Broadview anti-ICE demonstration have been released

Ten people arrested during a clash Friday with federal immigration agents have been freed, a spokesperson for the National Lawyers Guild said. But there was no word on whether any of them had been charged. One protester successfully helped get a detainee freed.

Oh yeah, pastor Black, he got sprayed in the face one day and then a few days later shot in the head from the guys from the roof of the ice facility.

What I am talking about is an instance where a clergymen in Oakland or Alameda was shot in the face with pepper spray from a few feet away by a federal agent. It’s hard to find the photograph, even though I have it on my desktop. It’s from a blue sky account around the declared surge of forces into San Francisco

I actually tracked down the picture and posted on a blue sky account, but this video refers to that image as well. I mean, come on, this fucking stain on his pants in the timeframe he shot a clergy man in the face with a pepper ball.
