It was an extraordinary show of force. Dozens of federal agents wearing helmets and green camouflage arrived in two hulking armored trucks and other unmarked vehicles, and were soon approached by a crowd of immigrant activists and supporters. Some agents carried riot shields and others held rifles, as well as shotguns that appeared to be loaded with less-than-lethal ammunition."
It’s okay, they’re apparently the only one allowed to talk about protesting. Then again if they’re gonna be in a massive one youd think they’d want to work on preparing for how to handle police brutality and retaliation instead of yelling at others to just be peaceful or convince national guard to not go wild on protesters
