Overview

  • Federal prosecutors filed a criminal complaint alleging threats and interference during Sunday’s enforcement action in the 5500 block of West Jackson Boulevard.
  • The complaint cites an audio recording of Joshalin Rivera saying she hoped an ICE officer’s child would die and threatening to shoot officers.
  • A CBP officer reported his unmarked vehicle’s windows were shattered by a brick, and two bystanders pointed toward Rivera when asked who did it.
  • Prosecutors allege Daishalie Urdiales pushed an agent and yanked a loaded ammunition magazine from his vest, while Rivera grabbed at an officer’s neck and reached toward another officer’s firearm.
  • Both defendants appeared in federal court Monday, Judge Young Kim denied detention and released them on unsecured bond, and reporters note the case is believed to be among the first of its kind in Chicago under the current immigration crackdown.
