BREAKING: Armed suspect rams vehicle into federal agents in Chicago: DHS

According to DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin, "This morning, during routine patrolling in Broadview, in the same area of Chicago that law enforcement were assaulted yesterday, our brave law enforcement officers were rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars. Agents were unable to move their vehicles and exited the car. One of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon. Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed US citizen who drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds."

"The armed woman was named in a CBP intelligence bulletin last week for doxing agents and posting online ‘Hey to all my gang let’s fuck those mother fuckers up, don’t let them take anyone.’ Thankfully, no law enforcement officers were seriously injured in this attack. Pritzker’s Chicago Police Department is leaving the shooting scene and refuses to assist us in securing the area. There is a growing crowd and we are deploying special operations to control the scene."

DHS released screenshots of a social media profile posting about the identities of ICE agents. The profile with the name "La Maggie" recently shared a post from a group called "ICE Sighting- Chicagoland." However, the woman's full name was not immediately released. Photos from her social media circulated after the screenshots were released by DHS.

There were also reports this morning showing that people were trying to obstruct as well as follow ICE agents as they were conducting immigration enforcement in Chicago.

The incident is in line with recent charges the Department of Justice brought against three people who allegedly obstructed federal agents in the Chicago area, with some also charged with assault this past week.

Widman Osberto Lopez Funes, 18, has been charged with felony assault as well as the depredation of US property. Funes is accused of ramming his vehicle into a "vehicle being driven by officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations." The incident took place on October 1.

Miguel Esareno de Lorea, 20, has been charged with felony assault of a federal officer and "on three occasions he allegedly forcibly struck a vehicle being driven by officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations," the DOJ stated. The incident took place on October 2.

The third suspect, Joel Gonzalez, 23, was " charged with forcibly impeding and interfering with a federal officer, a misdemeanor," per the DOJ. "He allegedly impeded and interfered with a group of vehicles being driven by agents from U.S. Customs and Border Protection," on October 2.
