Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pepper-sprayed U.S. Senator Andy Kim (D-NJ) and protesters outside Delaney Hall, an immigrant detention facility in Newark, New Jersey. The incident happened when the senator was trying to work out an agreement between agents and protesters to calm the situation down.
According to Mediaite, Senator Kim placed himself between the crowd and the agents, raising his arms as if to signal them to stop. But agents began pushing the crowd back and fired projectiles containing chemical irritants. “It’s just burning,” Kim said after inhaling the chemicals, according to NJ.com.
