Democrat Congressional Candidate Gets a Hard Lesson After Interfering with an ICE Operation

According to accounts and footage from the scene, Abughazaleh, who started her House campaign in March, tried to physically block an ICE officer's car while she was taking part in a protest. While armed officers used what seemed to be tear gas and pepper balls, CBS Chicago footage showed agents tackling and pulling protestors who had blocked the road. At least two protesters were taken into custody. The Chicago Sun-Times reported that an ICE agent flung Abughazaleh to the ground, while a chemical irritant struck one of its videographers.
When Democrat congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh confronted federal authorities head-on Friday morning, an anti-ICE demonstration in suburban Chicago descended into chaos. On camera, Abughazaleh attempted to stop an ICE car from leaving the building, but an officer knocked him down.
