"Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin confirmed that a second attack targeting federal agents occurred in the Chicago area on Saturday. The announcement comes after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vehicles were rammed and pinned down by multiple rioters, at least one of whom was armed with a semiautomatic firearm.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced Saturday night that additional federal personnel would be deployed to the Chicago area in order to provide security and combat rising political violence.
“Today in Chicago, members of our brave law enforcement were attacked—rammed and boxed in by ten vehicles, including an attacker with a semi-automatic weapon,” Noem posted on X. “I am deploying more special operations to control the scene. Reinforcements are on their way.”
