A Democrat congresswoman claimed she was “pushed-aside and pepper sprayed” when she identified herself as a member of Congress during an ICE raid in Arizona. “ICE just conducted a raid by Taco Giro in Tucson – a small mom-and-pop restaurant that has served our community for years,” Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) said. “When I presented myself as a Member of Congress asking for more information, I was pushed-aside and pepper sprayed,” she continued. Grijalva claimed she was “sprayed in the face by a very aggressive agent” and “pushed around by others” in a video posted to X.

Adelita Grijalva (@Rep_Grijalva) December 5, 2025 POLITICO has more: Arizona Democrats were quick to criticize ICE, with Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) writing on social media that “Pepper-spraying a sitting member of Congress is disgraceful, unacceptable, and absolutely not what we voted for. Period.” Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes — who sued Johnson for failing to seat Grijalva in a timely manner — also called the incident “unacceptable and outrageous,” writing in a statement that “Effective law enforcement requires restraint and accountability, not unchecked aggression.” “If her claims were true, this would be a medical marvel. But they’re not true. She wasn’t pepper sprayed,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said. “She was in the vicinity of someone who *was* pepper sprayed as they were obstructing and assaulting law enforcement. In fact, 2 law enforcement officers were seriously injured by this mob that @Rep_Grijalva joined,” McLaughlin continued. “Presenting one’s self as a ‘Member of Congress’ doesn’t give you the right to obstruct law enforcement. More information forthcoming,” she added. If her claims were true, this would be a medical marvel. But they’re not true. She wasn’t pepper sprayed.

Adelita Grijalva (@Rep_Grijalva) December 5, 2025 Axios noted: The alleged incident follows a series of physical confrontations this year between Democratic lawmakers and federal law enforcement, particularly ICE. Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) is still being prosecuted by the Justice Department for an incident in which she and Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.) and Rob Menendez (D-N.J.) scuffled with ICE officers. Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) was also physically removed, thrown to the ground and handcuffed by FBI agents for trying to confront Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem at a press conference.
