Local Police Chief Tears Into ICE for Exposing His Officers to Tear Gas
This is not Chicago, this is Broadview (I assume a town incorporated within Chicago region) Police

A police chief on the edge of Chicago said Tuesday that his officers have been repeatedly exposed to tear gas deployed by federal agents, as he announced that his department had opened [b]three criminal investigations into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Speaking alongside other local leaders, Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills said the situation that had unfolded at an ICE detention facility in his village had created a “dangerous situation” for the community and first responders.
“As a long-time police officer of 37 years, I was verbally assaulted on September 12 while being on the scene ensuring everyone’s First Amendment rights were protected,” Mills said. “The ICE agents were doing their operation, our officers were there, and one of the agents basically told me I was a fascist, and I was not doing my job, neither were my officers.

“I was offended because, in my 37 years working with the Chicago Police Department, I’ve worked with a lot of federal agencies on criminal investigations, that has never happened. We might not always see eye-to-eye, but we find a way to work it out.”[/quote]
