Chicago police officers responded to a call of gunshots fired at federal agents Saturday amid immigration enforcement operations that drew residents to protest in the streets, the department said.<\/p>\n

There were no reports of anyone being hit by gunfire, according to police, and the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement on the social platform X that the shots were fired by a man in a black Jeep who was targeting the agents.<\/p>\n

The suspect and the vehicle have not been located, according to DHS.<\/p>\n

Tensions are high as federal enforcement has grown increasingly aggressive<\/a> some two months into an immigration operation in Chicago dubbed Operation Midway Blitz. Some residents have protested, at times following and confronting heavily armed agents. <\/p>\n

A federal judge issued an extensive injunction<\/a> this week restricting agents\u2019 use of force after saying a top Border Patrol official repeatedly lied about threats posed by protesters.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s Border Patrol operation in Little Village, a largely Mexican neighborhood, attracted protesters who blew whistles, honked car horns and yelled at agents to leave. Some confronted police officers they viewed as helping the federal agents. <\/p>\n

One police vehicle had its taillight smashed and windshield damaged. DHS said some protesters threw a paint can and bricks at agents\u2019 vehicles.<\/p>\n

U.S. Customs and Border Protection did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chicago police officers responded to a call of gunshots fired at federal agents Saturday amid immigration enforcement operations…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":366213,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[960,69,57,51,409,2936,50,80,402,3677,52,3676,61,370],"class_list":{"0":"post-366212","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-chicago","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-general-news","11":"tag-headlines","12":"tag-immigration","13":"tag-law-enforcement","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-politics","16":"tag-protests-and-demonstrations","17":"tag-shootings","18":"tag-top-stories","19":"tag-u-s-department-of-homeland-security","20":"tag-u-s-news","21":"tag-united-states-government"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115518190824838291","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/366212","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=366212"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/366212\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/366213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=366212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=366212"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=366212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
