Illinois Governor JB Pritzker attempted to downplay, and then outright deny an ambush attack on ICE agents not far from a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in the Chicago suburb of Broadview.
“This morning, during routine patrolling in Broadview, in the same area of Chicago that law enforcement were assaulted yesterday, our brave law enforcement officers were rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin announced in a social media post.
Agents were unable to move their vehicles and were forced to exit. “One of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon. Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed US citizen who drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds,” McLaughlin added.
The armed woman was recently named in a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) bulletin after she doxxed agents and issued violent threats. “Hey to all my gang let’s f**k those mother f***ers up, don’t let them take anyone,” the woman reportedly posted online.
No law enforcement officers were injured as a result of the attack.
In a disturbing development, McLaughlin further revealed that local police officers were ordered to stand down as federal agents were being surrounded by a violent, left-wing mob.
During an appearance Sunday on CNN’s “State Of The Union,” Illinois Governor JB Pritzker referred to DHS’ description of the attack as “propaganda” and attempted to downplay it.
“The spokesperson for DHS, Tricia McLaughlin, accused Chicago police of leaving the scene and refusing to assist agents in securing the area,” Tapper noted. “What do you know about this incident? Were federal agents boxed in and assaulted?” the host asked.
“Well, we don’t have a lot of facts. What happens in these sorts of incidents is typically ICE puts out a press release before anybody else can speak with the press, and then it gets reported on social media and elsewhere,” Pritzker responded. The governor then accused agents of killing an “unarmed” person in Franklin Park last week, failing to mention that the individual in question was dragging an agent with his car during a traffic stop.
“At first, they said that the officer had been threatened with his life. The reality of it and the truth of it has now come out, and that wasn’t the case. They killed somebody,” he added, seemingly denying the existence of publicly available footage of the Franklin Park incident.
“So here, it’s really hard to know exactly what the facts are, and they won’t let us access the facts. They are just putting out their propaganda, and then we’ve got to later determine what actually happened.”
