Uncovered Chicago Police Department radio transmissions reveal that local cops were explicitly ordered to ignore distress calls from federal agents who were pinned down and ambushed by armed rioters in the city’s Brighton Park neighborhood on Saturday morning.

The chaos erupted on Saturday amid escalating protests against President Donald Trump’s aggressive deportation operations in the Windy City. Federal agents from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were on routine patrol when they were suddenly surrounded and boxed in by at least 10 vehicles during what DHS officials described as a deliberate ambush by “domestic terrorists.”
One of the key aggressors, Marimar Martinez, a U.S. citizen with a history of doxxing ICE agents online, allegedly rammed her vehicle into an ICE patrol unit while armed with a semi-automatic weapon.

Another participant, Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, was apprehended for his role in the ramming attack and remains in custody.
Miraculously, no federal officers suffered serious injuries, though several CBP agents were hospitalized for minor wounds from the assaults.
The dispatcher even seemed momentarily stunned but complied, leaving the feds isolated and vulnerable.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin blasted the CPD for abandoning the scene and refusing to secure the area as crowds swelled.
McLaughlin wrote:
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.

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.

Protests have centered on the Broadview ICE facility, where DHS Secretary Kristi Noem personally oversaw operations from a rooftop, surrounded by armed guards.
In response to the escalating violence, President Trump authorized the deployment of 300 Illinois National Guard troops to protect federal personnel and property, stepping in where local Democrats have failed miserably.

“This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will,” he whined in a social media post on Saturday.
What’s actually outrageous, however, is a Democrat governor prioritizing illegal aliens and rioters over American law enforcement.
