On Friday, in a suburb of Chicago, more than a dozen people were arrested by federal agents during a protest at an ICE processing facility. 

Around 250 anti-ICE demonstrators took part in the protest in Broadview, Illinois. According to Fox News, agents fired pepper balls, tear gas, and rubber bullets to clear the crowds. 

Also on Friday, in the Illinois suburbs of Norridge and Bensenville, ICE agents, while on routine patrol, were targeted by illegal immigrants who used their vehicles as weapons.

They were rammed by vehicles and boxed in by ten cars. When agents attempted to escape, a woman carrying a semi-automatic gun allegedly tried to run them over but was shot by police with a rubber bullet. 

The incident intensified when Chicago officers were initially prepared to help the agents but were allegedly told to hold back by the chief of patrol, according to a dispatch recording.

"Our ICE law enforcement is facing a more than 1000% increase in assaults — including cars — being used as weapons against them. Secretary [Kristi] Noem has been clear: anyone who assaults law enforcement will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," McLaughlin stressed.
