A man in Chicago allegedly opened fire on U.S. Border Patrol agents during an immigration enforcement operation on Saturday, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The suspect, who fled in a black Jeep, remains at large. Fortunately, the Chicago Police Department confirmed that no injuries were reported after officers responded to the scene and secured the area.
The confrontation occurred in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood amid ongoing protests sparked by federal immigration raids. Witnesses reported chaotic scenes as residents clashed with authorities. A Reuters journalist observed police detaining one man following an argument between locals and federal agents after an immigration raid.
DHS revealed that “agitators” hurled objects—including a paint can and bricks—at Border Patrol vehicles during Saturday’s operations. The agency condemned the rise in violence, stating, “Over the past two months, we’ve seen an increase in assaults and obstruction targeting federal law enforcement.” The statement was shared on X (formerly Twitter).
Immigration enforcement actions have intensified across Chicago and nearby suburbs in recent weeks, with one raid at a daycare center igniting public outrage. On Friday, more than a dozen suburban mothers were arrested outside a detention facility in Broadview, a known protest site against what many are calling Trump’s renewed “Operation Midway Blitz.”
The DHS launched the Chicago crackdown in September, claiming the initiative targets individuals deemed dangerous and residing in the U.S. illegally. However, reports suggest that some of the over 3,000 people arrested include U.S. citizens and individuals with no criminal background, fueling further criticism of the operation’s methods and intent.
The ongoing raids have deepened tensions between immigration advocates, federal authorities, and local communities, raising concerns over the increasing militarization of immigration enforcement in America’s major cities.
