| [FoxNews] Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem announced additional special operations personnel will be deployed to Illinois after federal agents were rammed and boxed in by 10 cars Saturday near Broadview, where anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) crowds have been gathering for days and nearly a dozen people have been arrested. One of the drivers accused of ramming into the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon, according to DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. She said officers, who were unable to move, "were forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed U.S. citizen." The armed woman, a U.S. citizen identified as Marimar Martinez, was named in a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intelligence bulletin, DHS wrote in a statement. She allegedly doxxed agents and posted online, "Hey to all my gang let’s f--- those motherf------ up, don’t let them take anyone." Mclaughlin said no law enforcement officers were seriously injured during the incident, adding that the woman involved drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds. The driver of another vehicle, identified by the DHS as Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, was allegedly involved in the ramming and has been apprehended by law enforcement. Andrew Boutros, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, said in a statement Saturday his office has already filed charges against more than 12 people "during this surge," and is continuing to review cases for additional criminal charges.”
''The officers exited their trapped vehicle, when a suspect tried to run them over, forcing the officers to fire defensively,'' according to DHS, which called the incident ''an evolving situation'' and noted FBI agents were currently on the scene. The suspect, who is a U.S. citizen, was armed with a semi-automatic weapon, department spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said. The gun-toting woman was already known to the federal agency for allegedly publicly identifying agents and encouraging people to attack them, according to McLaughlin.
