“One of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon,” McLaughlin explained. “Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed U.S. citizen who drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds.”
The armed woman in question was already on Border Patrol’s radar after she recently doxxed agents and posted online, “Hey to all my gang let’s f*** those mother f***ers up, don’t let them take anyone,” according to the assistant secretary.

“[Democrat Gov. JB] Pritzker’s Chicago Police Department is leaving the shooting scene and refuses to assist us in securing the area,” she posted to X. “There is a growing crowd and we are deploying special operations to control the scene.”
Illinois is a sanctuary state for illegals, and Chicago, specifically, refuses to work with federal law enforcement on immigration matters. Gov. Pritzker has repeatedly railed against President Donald Trump for trying to effectively enforce immigration laws in his state.

“ICE drone footage shows anti-ICE protestors obstructing the duties of our officers and agents during Operation Midway Blitz last week in Chicago,” ICE said on X. “While personnel tried to protect federal property, one agitator who made headlines last week because of his superhero apparel can be seen picking up a tear gas canister and throwing it toward our officers. He was arrested and charged.”
Pritzker did not comment on the recent attacks on ICE. Instead, he took to X to again lash out at Trump for trying to send in the National Guard to tackle Chicago’s rampant, violent crime and assist with immigration efforts.

“In the coming hours, the Trump Administration intends to federalize 300 members of the Illinois National Guard,” Pritzker argued. “They will pull hardworking Americans out of their regular jobs and away from their families all to participate in a manufactured performance — not a serious effort [to] protect public safety. For Donald Trump, this has never been about safety. This is about control.”
