Newly sworn-in Arizona Representative Adelita Grijalva was pepper-sprayed and pushed by federal ICE agents during a confrontation outside a Tucson taco restaurant where agents were conducting a human trafficking investigation. Grijalva said she identified herself as a member of Congress and witnessed others, including press and staff, also being sprayed. Video evidence shows agents deploying pepper spray and pepper-ball rounds, along with flash-bang grenades and tear gas, against immigrant rights protesters at the scene. The Department of Homeland Security disputed the account, stating Grijalva was merely in the vicinity of another person being pepper-sprayed and denying she was directly targeted.
