A Berwyn family was driving with their 1-year-old child Saturday when they were pepper-sprayed by federal agents, a video taken by the family shows. The action appears to violate a judge’s restriction on use of force.

This story now includes video, released by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, of the baby being exposed to chemical irritants fired by federal agents from their convoy into the car she was riding in with members of her family near 26th Street and Ogden Avenue in Cicero.
Federal officials accused someone of firing shots at agents conducting an aggressive immigration raid led by Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino through Little Village Saturday. No one was injured.
Agents used chemical agents to disperse the crowd, @sigchofor25.bsky.social said.

“The ACNA leadership has to stop expecting people to blindly trust them. That ship has sailed,” Miller said. “They have to start demonstrating that they are absolutely trustworthy, that they are well above reproach, if they expect our denomination to survive.”

One of the reasons I find the abuse of power in the ACNA so horrifying is how many of us attended ACNA churches after attending spiritually abusive churches and were told the ecclesiastical hierarchy meant there would be accountability if something ever happened in one of our churches.

I personally know many of the clergy who have signed onto this letter and I am grateful for their commitment to following the biblical mandates to care for migrants and prisoners.
NEW: 200+ Chicago-area clergy — Protestants, Catholics, and evangelicals — have signed a letter decrying ICE's efforts and voicing a willingness to put their "bodies on the line" for migrants.
