About this listen

A routine immigration raid outside a Tucson taco restaurant spiraled into a high-stakes clash when newly sworn-in Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva was allegedly pepper-sprayed and shoved by masked federal agents.

The incident, captured on video, highlights escalating tensions between aggressive Trump-era immigration enforcement and democratic oversight. Federal officials dispute Grijalva’s account, citing injuries to officers and denying excessive force.

Local leaders condemned the operation, calling it unjustified. This controversy underscores broader concerns over the Trump administration’s tactics, raising urgent questions about transparency, civil rights, and the unchecked power of federal agencies.
