One protester, named A'keisha who declined to share her last name, said that it seemed like Ice agents wanted to hurt protesters.
"What was unique on the first day is that it didn't feel like Ice had planned to use their legal tools to remove us," she said. "They have the right, right to say, 'Y'all gotta leave, arrest them.' But they didn't. They chose instead to be violent and, like, push us and throw us to the ground and drag us." …
Another protester, Reverand David Black of the First Presbyterian church of Chicago, said that he was pelted with about seven or eight "pepper exploding pellets" that hit his head, face, torso, arms and legs, while in a position of prayer.
