CBRN event in United States of America on Mon 25th May 2026

Masked ICE agents confronted protesters and pushed people to the ground outside Delaney Hall this evening. U.S. Senator Andy Kim (D-NJ) hurt his hand in the melee. "My throat's burning," he told ABC News. "My eyes are burning. But again, it's not about me. Several have told me they're being threatened with retaliation, saying that if you continue with this protest, we will transfer you. We will cut back or cut off visitation rights for family." Said Pastor George Dredden: "The protest turned into ICE making several arrests after storming into the crowd. We got pepper sprayed, but we are OK. Haven't tasted this stuff since my law enforcement days. The extra ICE presence left, and the protest returned to a peaceful state again. SEN. ANDY KIM did his best to keep things from escalating."

After some minutes of stand-off, ICE agents could be seen repeatedly spraying tear gas or pepper spray into the crowd. Earlier Monday afternoon, a smaller group of protesters clashed with ICE agents. ICE agents were seen throwing one protester to the ground and dragging another. Some protesters threw water and yelled at the agents. The Department of Homeland Security issued a statement, which read in part: The facts are all detainees are provided with 3 meals a day, clean water, clothing, bedding, showers, soap, and toiletries. Illegal aliens also have access to phones to communicate with their family members and lawyers. Certified dieticians evaluate meals. In fact, ICE has higher detention standards than most U.S. prisons that hold actual U.S. citizens.
