Now, a new report lays bare the scale of the use of these crowd control weapons during anti-immigration demonstrations across the US, including hundreds of incidents that resulted in lasting and traumatic injuries.

The report documented 203 injuries stemming from the alleged misuse of the crowd control weapons.

Some of the injuries included blindings, traumatic brain injuries, lacerations, fractures and contusions.

For researchers, the scale of the use of the crowd control weapons harkened back to law enforcement’s response to the 2020 racial justice protests.

Since January of 2025, federal immigration officials with DHS have been responsible for at least 11 shooting deaths. »
