ICE Barbie Sued Over Tear-Gas Stunt for MAGA Influencers

The Trump administration has been sued over claims federal agents harmed low-income seniors, veterans, and families by firing chemical agents near an apartment building as part of an attempt by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to impress conservative influencers.

Since the summer, the use of force by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents has escalated around a federal facility in Portland, Oregon, with the deployment of tear gas, pepper balls, and chaotic tactics that even hit peaceful crowds. A new lawsuit alleges that their use has affected residents living near the facility.
