Driver Opens Fire on Border Patrol During Chicago Immigration Operation

Court-ordered limits on agents' use of force have heightened scrutiny of the ongoing raids.

Overview

  • DHS said a man driving a black Jeep fired at U.S. Border Patrol agents near 26th Street and Kedzie in Little Village on Saturday before fleeing.
  • Chicago police reported no gunshot injuries, responded to the call, and helped secure the scene.
  • The suspect and the vehicle remain at large, according to DHS.
  • DHS said demonstrators threw a paint can and bricks at agents’ vehicles, and a police vehicle showed broken glass and a damaged taillight.
  • The incident occurred during Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago, following a federal order that restricts agents’ use of force after a judge found a senior official misrepresented threats from protesters.
