Border Patrol Gets Shot At, Rammed with Cars and Hit with Bricks in Chicago: ‘Violence here is off the charts’; Judge Who Ordered Release of 600 Chicago Illegal Immigrants is Slammed by DHS as Activist Putting Lives at Risk

Border Patrol gets shot at, rammed with cars and hit with bricks in Chicago: ‘Violence here is off the charts’:

Border cops deployed to Chicago are doing their best to put a lighthearted spin on the dangerous situation on the ground.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Operation Midway Blitz has resulted in agents being shot at and met with resistance and violence daily — including being rammed with cars — as they round up gang members, rapists, kidnappers and drug traffickers.

“You know those signs that say ‘This many days since a workplace accident’? We have one of those for car rammings. It always stays at zero,” one Border Patrol officer told The Post on a recent visit to Department of Homeland Security headquarters outside Chicago.

And he’s being serious, telling The Post that crazed activists really are running their cars into Border Patrol officers in the Windy City since the operation got underway on Sept. 8.

And Border Patrol boss Greg Bovino says it’s not just the illegal criminals they are fighting, but the hostile attitude of the city and state leadership.

“When you start calling us barbarians and Nazis and jackboots and things like that, that really appeals to those weaker-minded people that are actually going to act on what a [Chicago Mayor Brandon] Johnson or a [Gov, JB] Pritzker says,” Bovino told The Post in an exclusive interview.

“And instead of tamping down some of this rhetoric and this heated situation that’s out there, they’re increasing it.

“Not just a little bit, but they’re increasing it a lot, to the point where people are taking their own vehicles and trying to kill Border Patrol agents right out in the open,” said Bovino, 55.

Illinois blocked President Trump’s attempt to deploy National Guard troops to Chicago in order to protect immigration officials this week, which also saw Democrat Pritzker call Bovino a “snowflake” at a news conference. 

Meanwhile, violence on the streets continues.

Last week, a man in a black jeep opened fire on Border Patrol officers as agents performed operations. A mob of activists also hurled paint cans and bricks at CPB vehicles during the incident. There were no injuries. --->READ MORE HERE

Judge who ordered release of 600 Chicago illegal immigrants is slammed by DHS as activist putting lives at risk:

A federal judge in Chicago has ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to release more than 600 illegal immigrants held at a suburban detention center, blasting the agency for “repeated, material violations” of a court-approved consent decree that limited who could be detained under US immigration law.

US District Judge Jeffrey Cummings ruled that more than 600 detainees being held at the Broadview ICE center must be released “on bond and into ICE’s Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program” by Nov. 21, citing what he called a “pattern of unlawful arrests and confinement.”

The order stems from Margarito Castañon Nava v. DHS, a class-action lawsuit claiming federal agents unlawfully detained hundreds of migrants who were not subject to mandatory detention or final removal orders, a direct violation of a 2021 Biden-era decree inherited by the Trump administration.

In the ruling, Cummings accused DHS of holding migrants in “unsafe and unsanitary” conditions, saying detainees had been kept in overcrowded buildings “next to overflowing toilets.” The judge further said the department’s recent reversal on detention authority represented a “180-degree change” from previous legal interpretations.

The decision could force the largest single-day release of ICE detainees in Illinois in years, freeing hundreds arrested during “Operation Midway Blitz,” a Trump enforcement sweep that immigration activists claim traumatized communities across the Chicago area.

“Today was a good day as the court ordered the immediate release of 13 people who have been wrongfully arrested and detained by federal immigration officials,” said Michelle Garcia, deputy legal director at the ACLU of Illinois. “More than 600 others may soon walk free as the court enforces our agreement with the federal government — a step toward accountability for But DHS officials sharply condemned the ruling, accusing the court of undermining national security and law enforcement.years of unlawful arrests.” --->READ MORE HERE
