'Rep. Adelita Grijalva says she was pepper-sprayed during a raid in Tucson, Arizona'
"Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva of Arizona said Friday that she was pepper-sprayed by a law enforcement officer while seeking information about a federal immigration operation at a taco shop in Tucson, the southern Arizona city she represents."
“ 'I was here, this is like the restaurant I come to literally once a week, and was sprayed in the face by a very aggressive agent,' Rep. Grijalva said in a video posted to her X account Friday afternoon. 'Pushed around by others when I literally was not being aggressive. I was asking for clarification, which is my right as a member of Congress.' "
"Grijalva won a special election to succeed her late father, Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva, in September but was not sworn in to her seat for nearly two months. She told MS NOW in a statement that members of her staff were also pepper-sprayed by masked officers."
"In the video on X, the congresswoman can be seen coughing, noting the 'remnants of whatever they sprayed' were bothering her."
