In a series of tense confrontations in Chicago, federal agents have deployed tear gas while responding to protests during immigration enforcement operations. Incidents were reported across various neighborhoods, including the Southeast Side and East Side, where high-speed chases involving Border Patrol culminated in crashes leading to standoffs with local residents. Video footage captured confrontations where armed agents faced off against community members, resulting in the use of chemical agents to disperse crowds. The situation has ignited anger among residents who have gathered to oppose the federal presence, leading to calls for action against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) tactics in the city.
