Videos from Maryland and suburban Chicago show confrontations with ICE, including an officer dropping his gun and another firing pepper balls—one striking Pastor David Black, who has sued. A CBS reporter says a masked agent shot a pepper ball at her car; police are investigating. Chicago advocates cite raids, two recent shootings, and what they call escalating, excessive force. ICE defends its training and tactics, citing more assaults on officers, while critics and experts question their preparedness and use-of-force. Body-camera footage in one fatal case and another shooting has also drawn scrutiny.
