Senate Democrat pepper sprayed at protest outside ICE detention facility in New Jersey

Sen. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) on Monday was pepper sprayed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers while demonstrators gathered outside an immigration detention facility in Newark, N.J.

Videos circulated online of mutual aid volunteers pouring water into Kim's eyes while he held an ice pack in his hand. One video showed Kim speaking directly to ICE officers surrounding a detained individual, with another showing him speaking with demonstrators.
