Federal Agents Under Attack During Immigration Operations in Chicago
A series of violent incidents involving federal agents occurred in Chicago, particularly in the Little Village neighborhood, where Border Patrol agents faced gunfire during immigration enforcement raids. The Department of Homeland Security reported multiple shootings aimed at its officers, prompting ongoing manhunts for suspects involved in these altercations. During one incident, federal agents reportedly used tear gas and pepper spray to control crowds, which included a family with a young child, raising concerns about the tactics employed. The recent influx of immigration operations has resulted in over 3,000 arrests in the region, igniting protests and prompting fears of escalating violence against federal enforcement teams as residents confront these actions.
