The artist who blocked an Ice projectile with her drawing board during protests
"I looked up and saw him looking right at me, and I'm just glad I moved right, because moving left would have basically sent me into the centre [of the shot]."
"Just thinking about what could have happened, my faculties are really important to me and should be for everyone. It's such a callous thing to do, that lack of empathy or humanity."
"What people need to understand is that what happened to Izzy is happening every single day to people holding protest signs."
Isabelle Brourman, along with Peter Hambrecht and Jeannette Berlin, documented protests against ICE in Minneapolis. During a protest, Brourman was targeted by a federal agent who fired pepper balls at her. She narrowly avoided injury by using her drawing board as a shield. The incident underscores the risks faced by activists and the indifference of law enforcement towards their safety. Berlin and Hambrecht recorded the event, emphasizing that such violence against protesters is a daily occurrence.
