Feds Open Fire On Armed Suspect In Chicago After Drivers Allegedly Ram, Box Them In

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a Saturday incident in Chicago involving border patrol agents who were “attacked and rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars” and “forced” to open fire on an armed woman.

No law enforcement officers were seriously harmed during the incident, according to authorities. The FBI is on the scene of what is described as an “evolving situation” which followed a week of the suspects doxing federal officers online, according to DHS. The agency condemned the apparent use of vehicles against law enforcement on Thursday after DHS said “illegal aliens” targeted U.S. 🛂Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers with cars during two separate incidents in Chicago.

“While conducting routine patrolling in the greater Broadview area, near the same area of Chicago that law enforcement was assaulted yesterday, our brave law enforcement officers were rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars this morning,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a Saturday statement. “Agents were unable to move their vehicle and exited the car. One of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon. Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fired defensive shots at an armed U.S. citizen who drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds.”
