There has been a noticeable uptick in clashes between Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and protesters, especially in cities where immigration sparks heated debate. Demonstrations near federal buildings often pull in a big police presence, and officers show up in tactical gear, armed with what they call “less-lethal” crowd-control weapons. Now, a recent standoff in Los Angeles, California, is grabbing headlines across the country.
An ICE agent aimed a grenade launcher inches from a protester’s face outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles. At this range, “less-lethal” rounds can be deadly.
