ICE officer, Border Patrol agent on fearing for their safety in Chicago | Bradley on the Border
NewsNation's Ali Bradley speaks to two immigration officials, with their faces and voices obscured, about the increased hostility and violence they faced during operations in Chicago. One ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Special Response Team leader called it “disheartening” that even his family fears discussing his job. He described agents being doxxed and targeted online, recalling violent protests at ICE’s Broadview facility near Chicago, where demonstrators hurled rocks and fireworks, forcing officers to use tear gas and crowd control tactics.
A veteran Border Patrol agent shared similar concerns, reflecting on 11 years of service marked by family separation, escalating threats from anti-ICE activists and rising violence in Chicago including protesters using vehicles as weapons.
