"Detainees at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma were subjected to tear gas, had guns pointed at them, and were physically restrained during a hunger strike last year for better living conditions.
Advocates for the detainees released footage Thursday of what happened to several protesters after chemical agents were used on them at the privately run facility.
The 41-minute video from Feb. 1, 2023, shows heavily armored guards entering the common area of Unit F4 at the processing center with rifles drawn, and then taking away one of the detainees in plastic cuffs."
