Opinion | ICE Is on a Dark Path. Congress Must Act Now. Congress must stand firm against President Trump’s assault on the rule of law.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

Just after I talked with Jim Acosta yesterday in Minneapolis, I talked to this local medic who showed up right after federal agents killed Alex Pretti, 37, to help anyone who needed it. In this clip he describes what happened at 26th and Nicollet when clashes started.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.

Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.
