Chicago Police Chief Denies Stand-Down Order After ICE Clashes, Calls Vehicle Ramming Deadly Force

Snelling says CPD geared up under Welcoming City limits before responding.

Overview

  • Federal agents reported two arrests tied to weekend ramming incidents, with Marimar Martinez shot and wounded and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz arrested in a separate case.
  • CPD’s timeline cites an ICE assistance request at 12:28 p.m. and police arrival at 1:09 p.m., following an earlier 10:36 a.m. response to the shooting involving Martinez.
  • Snelling states 27 CPD officers were exposed to tear gas deployed by federal agents while clearing protesters.
  • Fox News cites dispatch logs suggesting a chief ordered officers not to respond, which Snelling rejects as the department reviews the incidents with more details expected Tuesday.
  • Chicago’s Welcoming City Law limits CPD participation in immigration enforcement, a factor Snelling says influenced how and when officers responded during a violent weekend citywide.
