"Thankfully, no DHS officers suffered serious injuries. Still, the attack is part of a staggering 1,000% increase in assaults on immigration agents, which DHS attributes to sanctuary policies that embolden criminals and hinder cooperation."

"The attack took place in Broadview, Illinois, near Chicago, where Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents were rammed and boxed in by 10 vehicles during routine patrols.
"One assailant, a woman armed with a semi-automatic gun, had posted chilling online threats to “f-ck up” ICE agents, complete with doxxing and calls for violence." . .

"One driver deliberately rammed the federal vehicle, prompting agents to exit and confront the threat. The ramming suspect, described as an armed woman, was wielding a semi-automatic weapon, leaving officers no choice but to open fire in self-defense.
"The woman, who sustained non-life-threatening wounds, drove herself to a nearby hospital for treatment. Shockingly, she had been flagged in a U.S. Customs and Border Protection intelligence bulletin just last week for doxing federal agents and inciting violence online.
