This was a mid-afternoon march with the Unions. It was peaceful and respectful until ICE got insecure and decided to be dicks about it. No warnings either.

My friend who attended said, “a daytime protest 5-10k strong organized by unions consisting of liberals, moms, teachers, nurses, and many many children and old people lead to a completely unprovoked onslaught of pepper bullet, flash bangs, and an absolutely astonishing amount of tear gas. It was terrifying, with that many people we were in serious danger of a stampede or being crushed. My eyes started to water and I got separated from my mom so I doubled back to find her, and suddenly the gas was so thick I couldn’t see at all, I felt like I was gonna shit my pants and throw up.”

Obviously law enforcement, apparently (according to other comments) federal - which would include ICE - did this.
