Manhunt in Chicago After Gunman Opens Fire on Federal Agents During Immigration Enforcement Raid.qn

Authorities are searching for a man who allegedly shot at U.S. Border Patrol agents Saturday during immigration operations in Chicago.

Border patrol agents were conducting immigration enforcement operations in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood, when a man driving a black Jeep fired shots at agents and fled, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The Chicago Police Department told Fox News Digital there are no reports of anyone being struck by gunfire.

At least one person was detained, according to the outlet.

City Alderman Michael Rodriguez of the 22nd Ward posted a video to Facebook accusing the agents of “causing all sorts of mayhem.”

“They’re doing things that are unconstitutional, that are illegal,” Rodriguez said. “They are causing fear and mayhem in our communities, and that’s unacceptable.”

Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez of the 25th Ward was also livestreaming the chaos on social media.

Sigcho-Lopez appeared to confront immigration agents, questioning them about why they were in the neighborhood, known as a largely Mexican-American community.

Chicago police were called for assistance and cleared the scene.

The shooter and vehicle remain at large, DHS officials said.

“This incident is not isolated and reflects a growing and dangerous trend of violence and obstruction,” DHS wrote in a statement on X. “Over the past two months, we’ve seen an increase in assaults and obstruction targeting federal law enforcement during operations.”

Chief Border Patrol Agent Gregory Bovino fired back at an X user who said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents “illegally fired tear gas into the street,” saying there is “more to come.”

“Funny, you keep leaving out key facts including several shots fired at agents by a suspect, violent mobs throwing bricks and assaultive subjects,” Bovino wrote in a post. “We still managed to apprehend illegal aliens today in Little Village. More to come.
