On Thursday, activists and illegal aliens attacked ICE agents who were carrying out law enforcement duties in Chicago. This was posted by one of the insurgents:

LAW AND ORDER WILL TRIUMPH IN CHICAGO.
Yesterday, Border Patrol Agents conducted enforcement operations near 27th and Whipple Ave. A large crowd of 75 to 100 rioters surrounded law enforcement who set up a perimeter after agents were boxed in by a large box truck. Rioters then shot at agents with commercial artillery shell fireworks.
A Border Patrol transport van carrying illegal aliens attempting to get to the safety of the perimeter was then attacked. Border Patrol agents were able to secure the van and get it into the perimeter. The mob of rioters grew more hostile and violent, advancing toward agents and began throwing rocks and other objects at agents, including one that struck Chief Greg Bovino in the head.
Border Patrol agents repeated multiple warnings to back up and that chemical agents would be deployed if warnings were ignored. Riot control measures were deployed, including by Chief Bovino, and arrests were made. Agents properly used their training. The use of chemical munitions was conducted in full accordance with CBP policy and was necessary to ensure the safety of both law enforcement and the public.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are on the side of the insurgents. Before long, the Democrats are going to succeed in getting ICE agents killed, just as they succeeded in getting Charlie Kirk killed and almost succeeded (so far, anyway; they haven’t given up) in getting Donald Trump killed. The violence coming constantly from the Left is not accidental: it is a conscious, planned insurgency, intended among other things to nullify federal laws that are disfavored by liberals.
