Federal agents were rammed and boxed in by 10 cars in Broadview, Ill., where anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) crowds have been gathering for days, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said.

One of the drivers was armed with a semi-automatic weapon, according to McLaughlin, who said officers “were forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed U.S. citizen.” McLauglin said the armed woman, who was a U.S. citizen, was named in a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intelligence bulletin.

The agents were reportedly performing a routine patrol in Broadview, a suburb of Chicago, when the alleged assault occurred.
