Swiss made weapons have been used by ICE agents in the United States.

Two people have now been shot dead during U.S. immigration raids in Minneapolis since the start of the year, sparking nationwide protests. 

New video shows ICE agents firing so-called “non-lethal” weapons directly at demonstrators’ faces. 

The tear-gas launchers were made by Swiss arms firm B&T, based in Thun. 

Human rights experts say the use was illegal and dangerous. 

B&T itself warns against aiming at the head, which is exactly what the footage shows.
