Hexachloroethane (labeled as HC on the canisters) is far worse than tear gas as it can cause chronic debilitating symptoms long after initial exposure. It's also absorbed through the skin.

Interesting. In response to Raskin asking DOJ whether any J6ers are being recruited by ICE, Tricia McLaughlin accuses Raskin of painting law enforcement as villains. Does she agree that J6ers are villains?
I asked the US Dept of Homeland Security about Rep. Jamie Raskin's inquiry into whether pardoned Jan 6 rioters are now working for ICE
Below is Tricia McLaughlin's response.
The statement does not specifically answer if any Jan 6 rioters are... working for ICE ===>

Donald Trump is a criminal who should be in jail and not the White House. ICE is a band of lawless goons who shouldn't be allowed to carry guns or badges. And the citizens who peacefully protest the Administration's violence against our nation are the true patriots.

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity.
