US Federal agents shot a woman after she rammed a law enforcement vehicle in Chicago on Sunday. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed the incident which occurred during routine patrolling in Broadview. DHS mentioned that the Law enforcement officers were rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars. This comes amid rising anti-ICE protests and the Trump administration’s intensified crackdown on unrest in Democratic-led cities.
DHS confirms the incident
Assistant Secretary Department of Homeland, Tricia McLaughlin shared details about the incident in an X post. She stated that at least 10 vehicles were used to ram and box in officers during the confrontation. McLaughlin mentioned that the one of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon. She added that law enforcement officers were forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed US citizen, a woman during the incident.
“This morning, during routine patrolling in Broadview, in the same area of Chicago that law enforcement were assaulted yesterday, our brave law enforcement officers were rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars. 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. 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,” McLaughlin wrote on X.
She further informed that the woman was named in a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intelligence bulletin last week for doxing agents and posting online ‘Hey to all my gang let’s fuck those mother fuckers up, don’t let them take anyone.’ She stated that no officers were severely injured in the attack.
“Thankfully, no law enforcement officers were seriously injured in this attack. Pritzker’s Chicago Police Department is leaving the shooting scene and refuses to assist us in securing the area. There is a growing crowd and we are deploying special operations to control the scene,” she added.
