What company sells ICE the pepper spray canisters? [View all]

[Prairie Gates]

They've obviously been told to always have one out and to use it freely. While this tactic was obvious before, they definitely ramped it up in Minneapolis.

Needless to say, the company that sells chemical pain-compliance products to the state is not going to respond much to "boycotts" or other consumer pressure themselves.

But are they owned by a conglomerate? Can we pressure investment funds to divest from these pain-compliance companies? Can we put these motherfuckers on blast?

Who is making and selling these canisters?

Contact your House and Senate reps for budget information about where DHS is sourcing pepper spray!

Safariland, owned by billionaire Warren Kanders, remains the number one supplier of pepper spray and tear gas to ICE and CBP, via a large federal distributor run by a MAGA-aligned former Marine.

Quantico Tactical, a weapons and armor distributor based in Aberdeen, North Carolina, is by far the biggest supplier of chemical weapons to ICE and CBP during Trump’s second term, per contracting records. Founded by North Carolina-based David Hensley, a former Marine Corps major, it has sold $4.7 million of tear gas and pepper spray to the agencies since January 2025, nearly triple its $1.7 million in sales the previous year. It has also provided more traditional munitions to ICE; its biggest contract with the agency was for $10 million in “firearms and magazines” in September last year.
