NPR's Ayesha Rascoe interviews Reverend Quincy Worthington from Highland Park Presbyterian Church about his experiences during ongoing ICE protests in Chicago.
A federal judge in Illinois issued a temporary restraining order, prohibiting federal agents from using certain crowd control methods against journalists, protesters, and clergy members. The protests are against the government's immigration enforcement policies outside an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois.
According to court documents, ICE agents have used pepper balls and tear gas against protesters, including clergy members. Reverend Quincy Worthington, a Presbyterian minister, has participated in some of these protests.
