How did Homeland Security describe the alleged vehicle attacks and shooting in Chicago?
Exactly what happened is not clear, but speaking on Fox News this morning, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the woman who was shot and injured was part of a group who rammed their cars into vehicles used by ICE agents.
We had a caravan of 10 different vehicles that were following our Border Patrol agents and officers that were out there on the streets of Chicago. And they had followed them and gotten them cornered, pinned them down. And then our agents, when getting out of their cars, they tried to run them over and had semi-automatic handguns on them to where our agents had to protect themselves and shots were fired. And an individual ended up in the hospital that was attacking these officers.
