The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claimed that on Saturday morning federal agents in the Broadview-area near Chicago were “rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars.”
In a post on X, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin revealed that after being “unable to move their vehicles” the agents got out of the car and were faced with one of the drivers having a “semi-automatic weapon.” McLaughlin added that “law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots.”
“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,” McLaughlin said. “Agents were unable to move their vehicles and exited the car. One of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon.”
“Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed US citizen who drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds,” McLaughlin added.
McLaughlin added that the woman had been “named” in a Customs and Border Protection “intelligence bulletin last week for doxing agents” and calling for people to “f*ck those mother f*ckers up.”
“Thankfully, no law enforcement officers were seriously injured in this attack,” McLaughlin continued.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller responded to the report of agents being rammed and blocked in by labeling it “domestic terrorism and seditious insurrection.”
