The Department of Homeland Security just revealed that their agents were shot at by a drive-by shooter, and other ‘agitators’ were throwing bricks and paint.

The drive-by shooter got away and is still at large:

Today, U.S. Border Patrol was conducting immigration enforcement operations near 26th Street and Kedzie Avenue in Chicago, Illinois, when an unknown male driving a black Jeep fired shots at agents and fled the scene. An unknown number of agitators also threw a paint can and bricks at Border Patrol’s vehicles. Chicago Police Department was called for assistance and cleared the scene. The shooter and vehicle remain at large, and this is a dynamic situation.

This incident is not isolated and reflects a growing and dangerous trend of violence and obstruction. Over the past two months, we’ve seen an increase in assaults and obstruction targeting federal law enforcement during operations. These confrontations highlight the dangers our agents face daily and the escalating aggression toward law enforcement. The violence must end.

This violence lies at the feet of the mayor and the governor, and it is appalling. This is why the National Guard needs to roll with federal agents in order to protect them, because the Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson are agitating these people into violence.
