From Patriot TV:

Federal immigration agents in Chicago found themselves in a dangerous spot over the weekend when protesters rammed their vehicles and boxed them in, leading to a shooting and arrests. Border Patrol agents fired on an armed woman during the confrontation in Broadview, a suburb west of the city, where crowds had gathered to oppose ICE operations. Multiple sources confirm that Chicago police officers were explicitly told not to assist, despite urgent calls for backup from the trapped agents.

The incident unfolded Saturday morning when about 10 vehicles surrounded roughly 30 armed ICE agents, trapping them after a ramming attempt. Agents reported being encircled by a large, hostile group, prompting them to request help from local law enforcement.

computer-aided dispatch message from Chicago’s chief of patrol made the directive clear: “PLEASE CHIEF OF PATROL NO UNITS WILL RESPOND TO THIS AS RELATED FROM 04-Oc5-2025/12:34:44…CALLER IS 1 OF APPROX 30 ARMED PATROL AGENTS (ICE) WHO ARE BEING SURROUNDED BY A LARGE CROWD OF PEOPLE REQUESTING CPD.”

Conservative influencer Libs of TikTok posted about the story on X, including dispatch audio. You can view her post below.

Chicago Police Department officials pushed back on the accusations, insisting that police “will always respond to anyone who is being attacked or is under the threat of physical harm.” Senior officials inside the city’s police force, however, disputed the department’s official statement, calling it “not true.”

Attacks against ICE officers and federal law enforcement have increased in recent months. Some officers have even been harassed and doxxed by sitting members of Congress. Governors like JB Pritzker of Illinois have also come under fire for upholding sanctuary policies and refusing to cooperate with federal law enforcement. This story, if true, is another example of disgruntled officials targeting ICE, likely over political differences.

As backlash against ICE continues, let’s continue to pray for the protection of all law enforcement!

If any of these government officials are truly “under fire” for upholding sanctuary policies, then the fire is not nearly hot enough. I do not encourage violence, in any way – but the fire that needs to increase exponentially is the fire of loud voices raised in rebuke. Godly men and women, especially in these “sanctuary cities”, need to rise up and demand accountability of their elected representatives that are putting their lives at risk by allowing crime and violence to continue through their insane policies. YHVH, I ask that You grant them a platform and megaphone, and put a fire in their bones to make their voices heard.

Father, protect our ICE agents as they work to end the crime sprees in these cities and they protect federal property. Open the eyes of those leaders who oppose them and want the crime to continue, who are not doing it on they own. May ICE be able to find illegal aliens and deport them. I pray for peace in our cities and wise people to run them, replacing those who are foolish.

All of those who stand in the way of our immigration laws or go against them are traitors and should be dealt with accordingly. I trust in God.

From the heart, thank you DHS as you work hard to enforce America’s laws and specifically for our ICE officers as they faithfully serve the needs of families and victims of crime committed by those who violate immigration law. Lawbreakers must be held accountable for there to be any justice in America, and law enforcement needs our prayers for their safety and the mission they are sworn to uphold. Please dear Lord, come and protect these men and women who are giving their all for America. Open the hearts and minds of anyone trying to stop those trying to legally enforce the law. Oh Lord, come now and change those who are foolishly standing in the way of our DHS and ICE officials. You are the author of laws, and please protect our law abiding officials.

Lord, let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done here in the United States. Let law and order prevail. Protect ICE officers. Use whatever means to bring peace and safety to Chicago and other cities and our country. Defiance of the law is not only lawlessness but also sin. I pray for those who made this directive, if it is true. May they repent of this. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
