US EditionDemocratic Congresswoman Says She Was Pepper-Sprayed During ICE Raid in Arizona
Rep. Adelita Grijalva said she was pepper-sprayed and pushed by ICE agents during a raid involving about 40 officers amid protests against alleged immigration and tax violations.
- On Dec. 5, Rep. Adelita Grijalva said she was pepper-sprayed and pushed while asking questions during a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid at Taco Giro restaurant in Tucson, Arizona.
- Community members blocked ICE vehicles fearing unnotified detentions, and federal agents executed 16 search warrants in southern Arizona with IRS Criminal Investigation.
- Video and photos show agents spraying the crowd, including protesters at the Taco Giro location, members of the press, and Grijalva's staff members, with witnesses reporting spray remnants and coughing.
- Tucson Police Department officers closed the street and restored safety after ICE left, while ICE spokesman Fernando X. Burgos confirmed multiple arrests but did not specify how many.
- Amid recent reports of aggressive tactics, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin disputed Grijalva’s claim, saying she was not pepper-sprayed, and urged witnesses to preserve evidence, Mayor Regina Romero and Vice Mayor Lane Santa Cruz said.
