I don’t see anyone else covering this here. A group of Jewish protestors at an ICE detention facility in Rhode Island had a truck drive into them. So far, it seems that no one was injured in the incident. It was followed by police guards at the facility surrounding the protestors and then spraying them with pepper spray while police stood by and watched:

Washington Post has picked this up as well: www.washingtonpost.com/...
Coverage of the pepper spray being used on the crowd — it was not in response to any violence or other actions on the crowd other than blocking the driveway:
After the first ICE guard ran us over with his truck, the rest of them ran over & pepper-sprayed us. The police present just stood by and watched, doing nothing.We are #JewsAgainstICE, immigrants, and allies. #NeverAgainMeans doing what it takes to #ShutDownICE. We'll be back. pic.twitter.com/56hF2sDfFAâ â¡︠Never Again Action â¡︠(@NeverAgainActn) August 15, 2019
