Federal agents threw a tear gas canister at people on a busy street in the Logan Square neighborhood on Friday outside a grocery store and near an elementary school. Cell phone video shows what appears to be uniformed federal immigration agents throwing a tear gas canister from their SUV just before noon near the Rico Fresh supermarket in Logan Square. A person on a scooter was stopped in front of the SUV at the time.

Surveillance video showing an overhead view of what happened shows the street filling with tear gas clouds and people starting to disperse. "I felt tear gas immediately hit my eyes and nose," witness Albany Rodriguez said. Rodriguez works nearby and recorded video of the incident. "I just think these tactics are disgusting and they're inhumane," she said. After throwing the tear gas canister, the agents left the scene.

Neighbors were outraged that the incident happened in front of Funston Elementary School. Volunteers arrived at the school ahead of dismissal to make sure kids got home safely. "There was a call put out to help protect kids as they try to walk home and not have to deal with this violence," volunteer Tania Kadakia said. "I can't believe this is the United States of America."

Yeah. So? Bernardo de La Paz Oct 4 #12

It wasn't a traffic jam. Either way they had ZERO reason to gas the people. Celerity Oct 4 #14

Exactly. Jam or no jam is not the issue. Irresponsible over-reach by thugs is the issue. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 4 #19

The title is misleading. Gimpyknee Oct 4 #17

No. The thugs had no cause to release noxious gases. Whether the jam up was intentional or not is not the issue. Bernardo de La Paz Oct 4 #21

Sorry, but the title clearly said ICE agents reacted to being stuck in a Chicago traffic jam. Gimpyknee Oct 4 #34
