ICE Under Siege: Second Chicago Vehicle Attack in One Day
[Breitbart] Federal immigration agents in Chicago faced two vehicular assaults in a single day—the second taking place in Bensenville—when an illegal alien rammed an ICE vehicle and fled into a residence. The incident underscores what DHS officials say is a “1000 percent spike” in attacks and a growing climate of lawlessness fueled by Illinois’s sanctuary policies.

Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin responded to a video posted on social media, purportedly showing an assault on ICE agents, in which ten vehicles were boxed in by an ICE vehicle, and a woman displayed a semi-automatic weapon, prompting officers to open fire. The secretary said the video actually depicts a second vehicular assault on federal law enforcement agents in a single day.

Breitbart Texas reported on one attack, where a group of organized anti-ICE activists surrounded and rammed a federal law enforcement vehicle in the Chicago suburb of Broadview. DHS officials report that two additional attacks occurred in nearby Bensenville and Norridge, Illinois.

“Criminal illegal aliens weaponized their vehicles in deliberate attempts to ram and injure officers carrying out their sworn duty to uphold our nation’s immigration laws,” DHS officials reported.

“Thankfully, none of our law enforcement officers were killed because of these deranged criminals’ attacks on law enforcement. This is exactly what happens when Governor Pritzker, Mayor Johnson, and other sanctuary politicians demonize ICE and encourage illegal aliens to resist law enforcement,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Our ICE law enforcement is facing a more than 1000% increase in assaults—including cars—being used as weapons against them. Secretary Noem has been clear: anyone who assaults law enforcement will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

Officials said the back-to-back vehicular assaults highlight the dangers faced by federal law enforcement officials attempting to remove violent criminal aliens from American neighborhoods.

In the Norridge incident, Miguel Escareno De Loera, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, rammed his vehicle into an ICE law enforcement vehicle twice, officials stated. His violent assault on the federal agents came to an end when he crashed his car into a stop sign. Agents arrested Escareno De Loera and subsequently learned that he illegally entered the United States at an unknown place and time.

The Bensenville incident involved a Guatemalan illegal alien, Widman Osberto Lopez-Funes. Officials report that Lopez-Funes rammed his vehicle into ICE agents during an enforcement operation. He later fled to a residence in Benseville. Officials say he also entered the U.S. illegally between ports of entry at an unknown place and time.

Both men now face federal charges for assault on federal agents.

Following the three vehicular assaults, Texas Governor Greg Abbott offered the services of his National Guard to help restore order in the lawless sanctuary city of Chicago, Breitbart Texas’ Randy Clark reported. # id) ?>

1 Pritzker and Newsom better be careful. They don't have anything at all like Robert E. Lee's Army of the Confederacy.

3 The National Guard was mobilized for riots in Chicago in the 1970's. I am told some of the soldiers brought their own ammunition.

4 Have the southern counties in Illinois and the eastern and northern counties in California hold a secession convention and apply for recognition as separate states, like West Virginia.
