Tear gas is a chemical weapon. The question is whether it is considered ethical to use on crowds for crowd control. It's a murky subject.
For what it's worth, the Obama administration used tear gas the border 79 times between 2012 and 2016. Doesn't justify it's use, however, and also doesn't mean tear gas shouldn't be defined as a chemical weapon.
Speaking of that... a relevant and worthwhile article:

Tear gas is NOT a chemical weapon. It's a chemical deterrent.
