This could be Ohio next: Wednesday night, in Minneapolis, federal agents fired green chemical gas into a residential neighborhood after community members showed up to document what was happening on their own neighborhood. This was people standing in the streets where they live… streets lined with houses, apartments, kids, babies, and pregnant people. This isn’t “normal” tear gas. Independent testing found it contained hexachloroethane, which produces zinc chloride smoke when deployed. The U.S. military stopped using it decades ago because of how toxic it is. Exposure to this gas is linked to burning skin and eyes, coughing, vomiting, chest pain, and serious respiratory injury. Now, federal agents are using it in neighborhoods. And on top of that… ICE and other federal agents are not supposed to be doing crowd control in residential areas at all. Their authority is limited to specific federal functions. Crowd control in city streets is not one of them. So what we’re watching is federal agents: • acting outside their role • performing crowd control where they have no jurisdiction • firing toxic green gas into civilian neighborhoods • and exposing families inside their own homes to chemicals that cause real physical harm. This is the federal government treating American neighborhoods like hostile territory… and using chemical weapons to do it.
