AdvertisementTricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security said in a post on X that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer began firing after a “violent rioter” attempted to run over ICE officers. I am aware of a shooting involving an ICE agent at 34th Street & Portland. The presence of federal immigration enforcement agents is causing chaos in our city. During “Operation Midway Blitz,” Trump’s immigration enforcement surge in Chicago last fall, ICE agents shot and killed Silverio Villegas Gonzalez, a 38-year-old Mexican national in a Chicago suburb. In December, ICE agents fired at a van carrying two men they were targeting for arrest, leaving one with bullet wounds.
