A video circulating on social media appears to show ICE agents shoot a minister in the head with a pepper ball. The Rev. David Black, who was protesting near an ICE detention facility in Broadview, Illinois in September, told Religionnews.com that after the incident "we could hear them laughing.”
Footage shared on Bluesky shows ICE agents standing above protesters on top of the facility holding their weapons. Seconds before Black is shot, he raises his hands and appears to speak directly to the agents. After the shot is fired, he falls to the ground as protesters surround him.
The ACLU, in a lawsuit filed on Monday, accused the federal government of sending forces to U.S. cities "in order to prevent the press, elected officials, religious leaders, and civilians engaged in peaceful protest from exercising their First Amendment rights."
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement that "agitators were blocking an ICE vehicle from leaving the federal facility."
