A driver fired shots at Customs and Border Patrol agents in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood on Saturday, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
DHS said the border patrol agents were “conducting immigration enforcement operations” near 26th Street and Kedzie Avenue when a man driving a black Jeep fired shots.
DHS also said people nearby threw a paint can and bricks at the agents’ vehicles.
Perhaps they thought they were gangsters or human traffickers due to their unmarked vehicles, masks and lack of identification.
