Overview
- Federal officials say a man in a black Jeep opened fire on agents near 26th Street and Kedzie, prompting a manhunt coordinated with Chicago police and the FBI, with no injuries reported.
- Video shows a masked person described as a federal agent spraying pepper irritant into a car carrying a Berwyn couple and their 1-year-old outside a Cicero Sam’s Club; the family sought medical care and is weighing legal action.
- Convoys led by Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino again moved through Little Village and nearby suburbs, where residents trailed the vehicles and documented arrests during hours of fast-moving confrontations.
- DHS says crowds threw debris and rammed vehicles as agents used tear gas and flash-bangs to clear routes; a recent federal injunction restricts use of riot-control weapons and requires warnings, and the Justice Department has filed an appeal.
- At least nine people were taken into federal custody and Chicago police made additional arrests, while elected officials and advocacy groups condemned the operations and Mayor Brandon Johnson denounced both the tactics used and any violence directed at agents.
