Ryan Garton told AP he saw immigration enforcement agents pinning down a man on the side of the road in a Chicago suburb as he was driving home. He pulled over to document what was happening on video. One agent had his knee on the man’s back and was “beating up on him,” Garton said. An agent told local police that they mistook the man for a fugitive and released him after realizing he is a U.S. citizen, according to a police statement.

Police violently detain Indigenous woman protesting ICE—shoot her with taser & tackle her to pavement. Officer shot her in mouth with pepper spray—then arrested her for "assault" when she spit it out. Cops then kneel on back of her neck with body weight. She is a Cheyenne River and a Sisseton-Wahpeton tribes member. Sisi Rose, 33, has been protesting for months to stand up against ICE's "unlawful detainers of Native Americans, and of American citizens."

She doesn't have an active account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.
