"We specifically linked the use of #chloropicrin to improvised munitions [#IEDs], such as filled light bulbs & empty bottles that are hung from a drone. When it comes to #teargas, we see that they are also misusing & converting existing munitions to act as the carrier for the gas," he said.

Chloropicrin is listed as a banned choking agent by #OPCW, which was created to implement & monitor compliance with the 1997 #ChemicalWeapons Convention (#CWC).

#CommunityDefense Groups Take the Last Stand Against #ICE in #LA

Organizers argue that LA’s #sanctuary laws aren’t enough to keep their #immigrant neighbors safe.

By Claudia Villalona, June 21, 2025

"Across #LosAngeles County, ICE’s operations played out differently. When combat-ready federal agents gathered in large numbers at staging areas in Paramount and Compton on June 8, protesters swiftly mobilized collective resistance efforts and emergency patrols. Agents responded to large crowds with #TearGas, #FlashBangs, and so-called 'less-lethal' weapons.

"Organizers maintain that this grassroots mobilization sabotaged enforcement operations, putting agents on the defensive and preventing them from conducting raids for the rest of the day.

"As ICE raids escalated across Los Angeles in early June, sending #protesters into the streets and immigrant communities into hiding, the contrast between how the consequential weekend unfolded in different parts of the city was stark. Divergent outcomes in majority #Latino areas further east with a long history of organizing and those largely disconnected from grassroots support highlighted the crucial role of #CommunityLedDefense in the absence of meaningful government protection.

"Unlike Compton or Paramount, the airport-adjacent Westchester is geographically and socially isolated from more established community organizing networks. And while LA’s sanctuary laws prohibit local #police from working with ICE, organizers argue that the local law enforcement agencies can’t be trusted to keep immigrants safe.

" 'Workers need to know their rights, whether it’s at the workplace or at their home, and they feel empowered to exercise those rights,' said Flor Melendrez, executive director of the labor advocacy group CLEAN #Carwash Worker Center. Car wash workers, street vendors, and day laborers working in high-visibility, outdoor spaces face heightened risk for arrests as 'easy targets' for ICE raids, while often lacking access to critical resources and workplace protections. Organizers said more than 26 car wash workers were arrested across at least six businesses in the set of raids began on June 6."

Some participants from the local rally joined other #protesters by the federal bldg, where people have bee protesting for over a week in response to #Trump’s #immigration #raids.

What was at that point a crowd of several hundred protesters started toward a freeway overpass but was stopped by officers on foot & horseback. #Police began pushing people toward an adjacent street, then suddenly turned to #FlashBang #grenades, *less-lethal* munitions & #TearGas.

#Police deploy #FlashBang #grenades, #RubberBullets on #LA #protesters

Police began #shooting flash-bangs & rubber bullets, then turned to #TearGas, after ordering a crowd to disperse following a demonstration outside the federal bldg late Sat afternoon.

The gathering there was separate from the local #NoKings event held earlier as part of nationwide rallies to push back against #Trump & the policies of his admin on a host of issues.

Excerpt: “The key really no matter where you are or what you’re doing is situational awareness,” said Mickey H. Osterreicher, general counsel to the National Press Photographers Association. “When you start to see officers on bikes encircling you, you need to have probably thought of this before, but certainly at that point, look for a place to exit.”
