Federal immigration officers came under violent attack from armed leftists in suburban Chicago, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said on X that agents in Broadview were “rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars” during routine patrols on Saturday.
Unable to move, the agents exited their vehicles and encountered one of the drivers armed with a semi-automatic weapon.
“Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots,” McLaughlin said.
The armed driver was identified in a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intelligence bulletin just last week for allegedly doxxing agents online and inciting violence against them.
The driver was wounded and transported to a hospital.
McLaughlin stressed that no federal officers were seriously injured in the ambush.
