CHICAGO Federal authorities opened fire on a woman on the city’s Southwest Side on Saturday afternoon after she allegedly attempted to strike them with a car, according to a source.

A source confirmed to WGN-TV on Saturday afternoon that ICE agents shot and injured a woman as she allegedly attempted to run over an unknown number of agents in an area near West 40th Street and South Kedzie Avenue in Brighton Park, at around 10:45 a.m.

A source told WGN-TV that the woman suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was hospitalized in critical condition, though it is unclear if any agents were injured.

In a statement, the Chicago Police Department said officers were on the scene following the shooting to document the incident, but that they are not part of the investigation and are referring everything to federal authorities.

The incident comes after weeks of clashes between protesters and federal authorities as they conduct an immigration enforcement operation dubbed “Operation Midway Blitz,” which focuses on Chicago and Illinois.

The operation has been met with intense scrutiny from state and local leaders as well as community members, including those who make up “rapid response teams,” who have been making their presence known on the streets of Chicagoland.

Despite the pushback, more than 900 arrests have been made in the weeks since the operation began.
