Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva of Arizona said she was
pepper-sprayed and "pushed around" by Immigration and Customs
Enforcement agents during a raid at a Tucson restaurant on Friday.
In a video statement posted on X, Grijalva said it happened as local >>>Tucsonans gathered to stop a group of roughly 40 ICE agents, many of
them masked and in several vehicles, stationed in the middle of a
street near a restaurant she frequents.
Grijalva said she was "sprayed in the face by a very aggressive agent, >>>pushed around by others." She added, "I literally was not being >>>aggressive, I was asking for clarification, which is my right as a
member of Congress."
Department for Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin denied >>>Grijalva's account, saying instead that the congresswoman was "in the >>>vicinity" of another person who was pepper-sprayed as they obstructed
and assaulted law enforcement.
rCLIf her claims were true, this would be a medical marvel. But
theyrCOre not true. She wasnrCOt pepper-sprayed," McLaughlin said.
rCLPresenting onerCOs self as a 'member of Congress' doesnrCOt give you >>>the right to obstruct law enforcement," she added.
McLaughlin also said that two law enforcement officers "were seriously >>>injured" during the incident.
A spokesperson for Tucson Police Department, Ofc. Frank Magos, said
that ICE had served a federal search warrant at Taco Giro, a local >>>restaurant on Friday morning, and "federal tactical resources
responded to extract federal investigative special agents from the
area where community had gathered."
Federal agents deployed "chemical munitions" and called for emergency >>>support from Tucson police to make their way out of the area, Magos
said.
Tucson Mayor Regina Romero and Vice Mayor Lane Santa Cruz said in a
joint statement Friday that federal special agents had conducted a
raid in the city that "rapidly escalated into violence against the >>>public."
