CHICAGO \u2014 Two Chicago women are facing federal assault charges stemming from a scuffle with agents during an immigration enforcement action on the West Side over the weekend.<\/p>\n

The charges against Joshalin Rivera, 26, and Daishalie Urdiales, 24, are believed to be the first such case lodged in U.S. District Court against Chicago residents since the Trump administration\u2019s crackdown on illegal immigration began earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Both Rivera and Urdiales were charged in a criminal complaint made public Tuesday with one count of assaulting a federal employee during the performance of official duties.<\/p>\n

At an initial appearance in court Monday, federal prosecutors moved to have both women detained pending trial. But U.S. Magistrate Judge Young Kim denied the motion and ordered both released on an unsecured bond instead, court records show.<\/p>\n

Lawyers for the women declined to comment Tuesday.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, agents with U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement and other law enforcement agencies were \u201cconducting an enforcement operation\u201d in the 5500 block of West Jackson Boulevard on Sunday morning when bystanders began to gather near the rear entrance of an apartment building.<\/p>\n

Urdiales entered an upstairs residence where officers were standing and asked them if they had warrants for the individuals who were being detained, according to the complaint. She then left and stood on the rear steps with Rivera, who shouted at one officer: \u201cI hope your kid dies a (expletive) miserable death,\u201d according to the complaint.<\/p>\n

Rivera\u2019s remarks, which were captured on an audio recording, also included threats to shoot the officers, the complaint alleged. \u201cThey lucky I ain\u2019t got my (expletive) on me. I\u2019d pop both of they ass \u2026 pop them right in their (expletive) face,\u201d Rivera allegedly stated.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, Rivera could be heard stating: \u201cI\u2019m busting all their (expletive) windows.\u201d One of the officers who was inside the apartment then heard glass breaking on the street below and saw that the windows of his unmarked government vehicle had been shattered by a brick, the complaint alleged.<\/p>\n

The officer \u201cannounced himself as police and asked the bystanders who had broken his windows; two of them pointed in the direction of Rivera,\u201d the complaint stated.<\/p>\n

When Rivera ran around the corner, Urdiales \u201ctried to physically prevent\u201d the officer from getting to her, pushing the officer and pulling his gun magazine from his chest and throwing it to the ground, the complaint alleged.<\/p>\n

Rivera, meanwhile, allegedly scuffled with another officer who heard her colleague\u2019s calls for help over the radio. The complaint alleged Rivera \u201creached and grabbed\u201d into that officer\u2019s vest \u201cin the direction of her firearm.\u201d<\/p>\n

After their arrest, Urdiales told officers she did not know Rivera and was simply trying to tell them it wasn\u2019t her who threw the brick, the complaint stated.<\/p>\n

Public records show Rivera and Urdiales share an apartment in the 3100 block of West Walton Street, in the Humboldt Park neighborhood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CHICAGO \u2014 Two Chicago women are facing federal assault charges stemming from a scuffle with agents during an…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":177810,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5124],"tags":[960,5386,1818,1571],"class_list":{"0":"post-177809","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chicago","8":"tag-chicago","9":"tag-il","10":"tag-illinois","11":"tag-national"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115096726025564273","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177809","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=177809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177809\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/177810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=177809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=177809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=177809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
