Tear Gas Spills Into Homes

Tenants living near an ICE facility are suing the Department of Homeland Security, claiming tear gas clouds have invaded their homes. One resident said she got hit with rubber bullets just trying to get home – that’s right, rubber bullets. Because what’s a little ‘I’m trying to get to my couch’ without a side of police brutality?

Gas Masks and Bathtubs

Others said they’ve taken to wearing gas masks or sleeping in their bathtubs to escape the tear gas. It’s like they’re preparing for a war zone, not a Tuesday night. The tear gas is so bad that residents are starting to think they should just add ‘gas mask’ to their bedtime routine, right after brushing their teeth.

It’s a ridiculous situation, and you’ve got to wonder what’s going on at that ICE facility that’s causing so much chaos. Hopefully, the lawsuit will bring some much-needed change – and a gas mask-free night’s sleep – to these residents.
