WATCH: ICE protests turn tense in Chicago | LiveNOW from FOX

Federal agents shot pellet guns and deployed tear gas on a crowd of protesters gathering outside the Broadview ICE processing center on Friday.

Protesters returned to the facility for a day of demonstrations, vowing to keep pressure on federal immigration officials after previous tense confrontations.

The site has long been a focal point for activists opposing ICE operations in the Chicago area.

Dozens of protesters gathered outside the facility for the third straight Friday, trying to block vehicles from entering or exiting.

Kat Abughazaleh, a candidate for Congress in the 9th district, was captured on video being thrown to the ground by federal agents. She said she was bruised but not hurt.

Two other protesters were detained inside the facility during the confrontation for trying to stop transport vans from moving detainees captured by ICE.

Aerials from Sky Fox showed the view behind the gate, where detainees were cuffed and on their knees, waiting to be taken to holding facilities.

As agents prepared to move more vehicles, agents on the roof fired pellets near the crowd gathered in front of the gate. They released tear gas cannisters, the smoke grew and the chemicals spread.

Several protesters were seen gagging, coughing and vomiting. They shared water and poured it over their faces.
