FBI Director Kash Patel<\/a> promised justice after two suspects allegedly rammed a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agent’s vehicle amid growing unrest across the country.<\/p>\n

The suspects, Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, were described by DHS as being domestic terrorists who “ambushed” agents in Chicago on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Martinez was armed with a semi-automatic weapon and “ha[d] a history of doxxing federal agents,” the DHS said in a release.<\/p>\n

“She took defensive fire from CBP agents and has been discharged from the hospital and is currently in the custody of the FBI,” the statement said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The driver of another vehicle, Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, involved in the ramming has been apprehended by law enforcement.”<\/p>\n

In a post on Sunday evening, Patel said that officials “just arrested two individuals who were allegedly driving these vehicles and attacking our federal law enforcement officers.”<\/p>\n

“They have been charged for assaulting federal officers with a deadly or dangerous weapon,” Patel added.<\/p>\n

“Attack our law enforcement, and this FBI will find you and bring you to justice.”<\/p>\n

A source from the FBI told Fox News Digital that the cases are being treated as AFOs, or assaults on federal officers.<\/p>\n

The source added that Martinez and Santos Ruiz are being prosecuted under Title 18, U.S. Code, Sections 111(a) and (b), which make it a federal crime to forcibly assault, resist or impede a federal officer while that officer is performing official duties.<\/p>\n

In the DHS release, officials noted that the scene became “increasingly violent as more domestic terrorists gathered and began throwing smoke, gas, rocks, and bottles at DHS law enforcement.”<\/p>\n

“Another domestic terrorist was arrested for assaulting CBP at the scene,” the statement added. “Following JB Prtizker\u2019s refusal to allow local police to help secure the scene, Secretary Noem<\/a> has deployed special operations teams to restore law and order.”<\/p>\n
