Overview
- Homeland Security officials say agents were rammed and boxed in by about 10 cars near Broadview before firing defensive shots at an allegedly armed driver, with no serious injuries to officers reported.
- The woman shot, identified by DHS as Marimar Martinez, was treated for a gunshot wound and released; DHS says she is now in FBI custody and had been flagged in a CBP bulletin for doxing agents.
- The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Chicago reported two people in custody in connection with the incident; DHS named a second individual as Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, and charging status remains unclear.
- DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin accused Chicago police of refusing to secure the scene, while the Chicago Police Department said it documented the incident and handled safety and traffic but is not leading the investigation.
- DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced special operations reinforcements to Illinois, and the White House authorized 300 Illinois National Guard members to protect federal officers and assets as protests and immigration enforcement actions continue around the Broadview facility.
