CHICAGO (TNND) \u2014 A 30-year-old woman was arrested for driving into a crowd of anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protestors in Chicago earlier in June, authorities said. <\/p>\n

The Chicago Police Department<\/a> identified her as Deirdre Kemp. <\/p>\n

Records with the Cook County Sheriff’s Office<\/a> noted she was booked on June 20. <\/p>\n

Charges against Kemp include aggravated reckless driving causing bodily harm, aggravated fleeing from police, and driving on a suspended license, according to police. <\/p>\n

Video from WBBM captured the moment Kemp allegedly plowed through the group of protestors on June 10. The footage shows people run from the scene as a maroon sedan drove along the road. <\/p>\n

A 66-year-old woman was hurt during the ramage, according to reports. The woman, Heather Blair, told FOX 32<\/a> she was standing in the road when she was hit, but doesn’t remember the exact details. <\/p>\n

I saw it (the vehicle). My husband got out of way. I think I blacked out,” Blair told the media outlet, adding that she fractured her arm.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Citing court documents, FOX 32<\/a> reported there were three children in the car at the time of the incident.<\/p>\n

The media outlet also noted Kemp was out on bond for a “violent felony case.” <\/p>\n

The protestors, meanwhile, were marching against customs and law enforcement action across the city. They chanted and held signed as they walked along the street. <\/p>\n

“Stop the raids,” one sign read. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CHICAGO (TNND) \u2014 A 30-year-old woman was arrested for driving into a crowd of anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":15751,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5124],"tags":[15769,15768,960,4537,10578,15770,5386,1818,409,7207],"class_list":{"0":"post-15750","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chicago","8":"tag-aggravated-reckless-driving","9":"tag-anti-ice-protests","10":"tag-chicago","11":"tag-crowd","12":"tag-deirdre-kemp","13":"tag-heather-blair","14":"tag-il","15":"tag-illinois","16":"tag-immigration","17":"tag-police"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114748596156619242","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15750\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
