00:00Hi, it's Adelita Grijalva.
00:02We just came up on a community that was protecting their people.
00:07We had, I would say, maybe 40 ICE agents, most of them masked,
00:12in several vehicles that the community had stopped right here,
00:18right in the middle of the street,
00:20because they were afraid that they were taking people without due process,
00:25without any kind of notice.
00:28And so I was here.
00:31This is like the restaurant I come to literally once a week,
00:34and was sprayed in the face by a very aggressive agent,
00:38pushed around by others.
00:40When I literally was not being aggressive,
00:43I was asking for clarification, which is my right as a member of Congress.
00:47So once I introduced myself, once I did,
00:49I assumed that it would be a little calmer,
00:51but there was literally only one person that was trying to speak to me
00:55in any kind of civil tone, and everyone else was being rude and disrespectful.
00:59And I just can only imagine if they're going to treat me like that,
01:02how they're treating everybody else.
01:03So we saw it.
01:04We saw people directly sprayed, members of our press,
01:08everybody that was with me,
01:10my staff member, myself, two staff members.
01:14We have like remnants of whatever they sprayed on us.
01:18Excuse me.
01:19It's bothering me.
01:21And I think that this is one of the problems,
01:23the biggest problem that we have in this community,
01:26is that we have Trump that has no regard for any due process,
01:31the rule of law, the Constitution.
01:34They're literally disappearing people from the streets.
01:36They arrested two people.
01:37We have no idea where they're going.
01:39And I want to thank Tucson Police Department for coming
01:42and taking care of the space,
01:45making sure that everyone was safe once ICE left.
01:48And you can see that traffic is back to normal because of them.
01:52And so they were not the aggressors here.
01:54They arrived on the scene after ICE was already here
01:58and after there was a block in the street.
02:01So I just want to make sure that that's really clear.
02:04I want to protect the people in this community.
02:07And that's why I showed up.
02:09I think it's important for me to have eyes on what's happening here
02:12and not just have it be stories through other people.
02:16So I'll keep you posted if I hear anything else.
