On Wednesday night, groups of demonstrators, many wearing gas masks and other face coverings, linked arms in a human chain in front of Delaney Hall, videos and photos posted on social media show.
Some used trash cans, old mattresses, umbrellas and other materials as makeshift shields and barricades as they confronted U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement officers. Others attempted to block people and vehicles from entering and exiting the building or threw orange traffic cones and other objects in the direction of the ICE officers lined at the entry gate.
The ICE officers used pepper spray to try and disperse the protesters, according to videos posted to social media. Some used their batons to beat and push back protesters as the officers attempted to clear the roadway for vehicles.
As usual, you frame the officers as doing something wrong when they were well within their rights to disperse criminals from assaulting them, blocking the facility, laying in the road and other typical behaviors
