The video depicts a chaotic scene outside Roosevelt High School during a snowy afternoon. A large crowd of people, including students, staff, parents, and bystanders—many dressed casually or underdressed for the weather (e.g., pajamas, light jackets)—is gathered along a snow-covered sidewalk and street, with vehicles and buildings in the background. Some individuals are recording with phones or holding signs.

The footage shows armed agents (appearing to be Border Patrol based on context) moving through the area, tackling and detaining people. Suddenly, chemical agents (likely tear gas or pepper spray) are deployed, creating visible clouds of smoke or gas. This causes immediate distress: people cough, cover their faces with hands or clothing, rub their eyes, and begin dispersing or running away. The crowd includes children and teens, with several shown reacting in pain or helping others. The video captures the escalation from a tense gathering to panic over about 50 seconds, focusing on the deployment and aftermath without clear audio or dialogue.
