On October 5, US Federal agents shot at a woman after she rammed a law enforcement vehicle in Chicago, according to the Department of Homeland Security, amid escalating anti-ICE protests and the Trump administration's efforts to clamp down on unrest in Democratic-led cities, CNN reported.
At least 10 cars rammed and boxed in officers, Tricia McLaughlin, DHS assistant secretary, said in a post on X.
"Agents were unable to move their vehicles and exited the car. One of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon," McLaughlin said in her post. "Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed US citizen who drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds."
The armed woman was recently named in an intelligence bulletin last week "for doxing agents and posting online," McLaughlin said. The woman has not been named, and her condition was unclear on Saturday (local time).
Secretary of the US Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem said in a post on X, "Today in Chicago, members of our brave law enforcement were attacked--rammed and boxed in by ten vehicles, including an attacker with a semi-automatic weapon. I am deploying more special operations to control the scene. Reinforcements are on their way. If you see a law enforcement officer today, thank them."
