WATCH: A nurse nearly blinded by a tear gas canister. Protesters trapped, struggling to breathe.
Under Trump 2.0, federal agents have routinely countered protesters using crowd control weapons and fired on people in ways that some experts say might be criminal.

We’ve all heard the F word quite a bit these days. I’m talking, of course, about fascism.

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.
