Incident occurs amid increased immigration enforcement operations in Chicago
1.
Chicago pastor David Black has filed a federal lawsuit following an incident where he was reportedly shot with chemical irritant projectiles during a protest outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. Black, who serves as pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, claims he was peacefully praying when federal agents fired on him, striking him seven times with pellets that released a chemical irritant. The Department of Homeland Security has disputed this account, stating protesters were blocking vehicles and ignoring verbal warnings.
