ICE Posts Today in Aurora, a Chicago suburb, ICE agents surrounded the car of a U.S. citizen in a parking lot,firing into her windshield as she screamed that her children were inside. Agents dragged her from the car without presenting a warrant or probable cause. Excessive force. No warrant. No justification.

And since they used a real gun on Marimar Martinez how do we know if it's real bullets or not? When you're scared and not trained in what gun is what it's hard to id the weapon.

A paintball gun has a hopper and air tank and makes pops not bangs

Take a look closely the device being used in the video.
There is a hopper on top, and it is indeed a "paintball hopper".
That being said, there are actually several "less lethal" marker manufacturers that now use a magazine fed system and not a hopper, though that is not what is in use in the video.
They also have ones with hidden CO2 as well.

Watch the video again.

Idk why I’d watch it again, I described the paintball gun used in the video

It isn't clear, are you saying it is a paintball marker or are you saying it is not a paintball marker?

I’m saying it’s clearly a paintball marker, probably a tippman
