You Want More I.C.E.?
Because this is how you get more ICE:
Someone fired shots at Customs and Border Patrol agents on Chicago's Southwest Side, the Department of Homeland Security said. A responding Chicago police officer was injured during the incident, according to another CPD officer at the scene.
The incident happened as federal agents launched several operations Saturday in the Little Village neighborhood as part of Operation Midway Blitz, possibly detaining at least two people. In a statement posted to X, DHS said agents were conducting operations near 26th Street and Kedzie Avenue in the Little Village neighborhood when the shooting happened.
An angry crowd gathered after federal officer allegedly detained a young woman near 26th and Kedzie. Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino was there. He could be seen in cellphone video with an apparent tear gas canister in his hand. Residents demanded the detained woman's release while in pursuit of their caravan.
During the incident, DHS says an unknown male, who was driving a black Jeep, fired shots at agents and fled the scene. DHS also said "an unknown number of agitators" threw a paint can and bricks at Border Patrol vehicles.
Um, that isn't a protest - that's unlawful interference. You don't get to "demand" the release of arrestees on the street. There's a process on place for that defined in the Illinois Compiled Statutes and in legal procedures. Throwing things is Aggravated Battery. Shots fired is another felony. That's also how you get shots fired back at you.
We're getting close to the point of military intervention and justifiably so.
