A video of the incident, which comes amid Trump's crackdown on Chicago, has been shared widely online with some adding the Benny Hill Theme Song to give the footage a comedic edge

A video shows the moment a bike delivery driver managed to give 10 ICE agents the slip despite them trying to swarm him.

The incident is believed to have happened in Chicago, Illinois, over the weekend. The footage shows the delivery man appear to say something before the heavily kitted ICE agents begin to run after them.

The cyclist manages to run away from the agents with his bike before jumping on and pedalling off. Just as he jumps onto his bike, an agent almost gets him but he swerves away and pedals off down the street. At least 10 ICE agents can be seen getting involved in the chase including one with a cowboy hat on.

Sharing the video on social media, before it went viral, Christopher Sweat wrote: "Earlier today ICE agents chase after a man in downtown Chicago after he made verbal comments but no physical or threatening contact. The man was able to get away."

This comes as ICE agents backed by federal authorities clamp down on Chicago. On Friay federal agents unleashed pepper balls and tear gas on demonstrators near an immigration enforcement facility in suburban Chicago.

The hours-long confrontation represents the most recent clash between federal authorities and activists targeting the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Broadview, situated roughly 12 miles (19 kilometers) west of Chicago, during a wave of immigration enforcement that kicked off earlier this month.

Officials repeatedly launched chemical agents at a gathering of more than 100 demonstrators after some participants tried to prevent a vehicle from proceeding down a street toward the ICE facility. The pepper projectiles and tear gas containers struck the entire assembly, with most participants positioned well away from the fence and not obstructing any traffic.

Demonstrators collapsed to the pavement and fled as officials continuously fired, scattering the majority of the assembly. Some activists helped lift others from the ground and poured water into each other's eyes once they reached safety outside the facility's parking area.

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson condemned ICE for "the relentless deployment of tear gas, pepper spray, mace, and rubber bullets," stating it has put local police, firefighters, nearby residents and demonstrators at risk. Thompson wrote in a Friday letter to the Department of Homeland Security that Broadview citizens are messaging and calling her "looking for help" as chemical substances drift through their community.

Thompson also insisted that ICE tear down the fence she claimed was "illegally constructed" around the facility, blocking firefighters from reaching the area.

"You are making war on my community," she said in a statement. "And it has to stop."

In recent weeks, demonstrators had also attempted to block agents' vehicles from entering or leaving a yard adjacent to the building. A barrier erected Tuesday forced Friday's protesters to maintain greater distance.

Advocates and relatives of those detained have voiced alarm in recent days that the facility designed to process arrestees has become a makeshift detention center suffering from deplorable conditions. Campaigners say as many as 200 individuals are being confined there simultaneously, with some imprisoned for up to five days in a location lacking showers or dining facilities.

Migrants report receiving minimal food, water and restricted access to medical care.

ICE authorities on Friday alleged protesters were obstructing gate access and trying to enter federal property unlawfully. They claimed officers seized a firearm from one demonstrator.

The weapon's presence could not be verified independently right away.

Tricia McLaughlin, ICE assistant secretary, urged state and local leaders to "to condemn these riots and tone down their rhetoric about ICE" in a statement to The Associated Press. She did not verify any protester arrests Friday afternoon.
