On Saturday, Chicago police officers were dispatched to investigate reports of gunfire directed at federal agents during an ongoing immigration enforcement operation. This operation has sparked public protests across the city, authorities confirmed.

According to police reports, there were no injuries from the gunfire. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shared on the social platform X that the shots were fired by an individual in a black Jeep, who specifically targeted the agents.

DHS noted that the suspect, along with the vehicle, remains at large.

As Chicago’s Operation Midway Blitz intensifies, public unease is mounting. This two-month-old immigration initiative has prompted residents to take to the streets, often trailing and confronting the heavily armed federal agents.

A federal judge recently issued a broad injunction limiting the use of force by agents. This decision followed revelations that a senior Border Patrol official had repeatedly misrepresented the threat level posed by demonstrators.

Saturday’s Border Patrol operation in Little Village, a largely Mexican neighborhood, attracted protesters who blew whistles, honked car horns and yelled at agents to leave. Some confronted police officers they viewed as helping the federal agents.

One police vehicle had its taillight smashed and windshield damaged. DHS said some protesters threw a paint can and bricks at agents’ vehicles.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
