On social media, a spokesman for an internal security ministry said that the woman was part of a group of drivers in a group of drivers and hit a car carrying federal agents, and activists said that ice agents hit the civilian car and that agents started to shoot.
The woman did not seem to have been seriously injured, but at the intersection of the 39th Street and South Kedzie Boulevard, the shooting caused protests that federal agents used flash bang bombs and some of them used tear gas to the protesters after throwing water bottles on agents.
Hours after Pritzker’s statement by the White House, the deployment of the guards was approved.
“In the midst of ongoing violent rebellions and lawlessness, local leaders such as Pritzker refused to start questioning. He said. “President Trump will not turn a blind eye to the illegality that disturbs American cities.”
The White House did not explain whether Illinois national guard troops would be mobilized or that members of the external guard would be used.
However, Pritzker, Trump administration’s plans are unnecessary and “will remove hardworking Americans from their regular work and move away from their families to participate in a performance -produced performance – not a serious effort to protect public security”.
Despite Trump’s threats to repeated military intervention, the governor argued that “there is no need for military units on the ground in Illinois state.” The authority said that the state, district and local law enforcement officers have been coordinated to ensure that Constitutional Rights and Public Security is protected around the Western suburban Broadview facility.

Despite the demonstrations, Noem Chicago said, iz You are grateful for being here ”and“ We will go hard ”while preparing to leave the facility for the execution activities.
Noem also a Expansion of the ICE facility By buying a nearby building and said that he would send a message: we are not just here, we stay and we are expanding and we will make this city safe again. ”
Federal operations created a wide network in the Chicago region, and Trump officials claimed that they arrested the worst of the worst, and ice and federal border patrol agents He was accused of arrest over and over again And to detain American citizens and individuals who have no criminal history.
Following the announcement of the governor, the democratic leaders in Illinois criticized their efforts to place troops into the state.
“Terrorizing families with raids and military units on our streets at midnight writes a shameful department in the history of our country,” he said. “This president does not intend to fight against crime. He intends to spread fear.”
US senator Tammy Duckworth added that the national guard troops of the Federalization were “a dangerous, non -American and contrary to the constitution, which aims to instill fear and threaten American civil rights.
Iraq War veteran Duckworth, “Our military men and women have registered to defend the constitution and rights, are not used as a political scene or not used as an opposition. Illinois cities do not want or do not need. Full stop,” he said.
US representative Robin Kelly, who worked for the Senate’s retired Durbin to replace the retired Durbin, said in a statement that Trump was playing dictatories and abused his powers ”.
“President Trump brings war on Chicago. He comes out of violence and control to our city, but he is the person who endangers our communities, terrorizing immigrants and creating chaos,” he said.

US representative Raja Krishnamoorthi said, “Illinois will not stop while the national guards should never be used as a political scene, and the Trump administration will not stop while trying to turn law enforcement officers into a weapon of fear.
Pritzker called on residents to use peaceful protests to opposition to immigration sanction pressure and use peaceful protests to avoid controversial interactions with agents – Trump said he believed that he encouraged to give a guard to the president.
However, Chicago, a group supported by a number of non -profit organizations, defenders and trade unions, proved that it was inadequate to ask people to know and speak their rights ”and called for a stronger state response.
“Defense organizations, elected leaders, faith leaders, labor, work, community groups and more, will continue to use our constitutional rights peacefully in the protest of military occupation by the Trump administration,” he said. “We call on our state and our local elected leaders to think creative and aggressive about existing beings to warn and protect peaceful protesters.”
After irregular ice protests in June, Trump did his previously federalized guard troops in Los Angeles and the same thing in August with the law enforcement officers in Washington DC. At the beginning of last month, Tennessee Gop Gov. With the support of Bill Lee, he used the guard to Memphis and at the end of last month, on the objection of local authorities, Portland said he gave the authority to go to Oregon.
In accordance with the Posse Comitatus law, the guard is prohibited to carry out law enforcement activities in the US territory. A federal judge in California has led the guards’ actions in Los Angeles violated this ban, but the case is appealed. Pritzker also threatened a lawsuit on the use of the guards in Illinois.
Despite the objections of the governor of Trump, the federalization of national guard troops was not seen in Illinois. State officials said that the federalization of the national guards for a response in the state without the request or agreement of the governor’s request or agreement was not a historical record.
In August, Trump threatened Send national guard troops to Chicago. At first, he said that it was to prevent the general offense following the deployment movements of the troops. Washington, DC The administration then revised this messaging, saying that troops were needed to protect immigrant officers and buildings.
The White House hit the country -wide shelter laws, including Chicago and Illinois, which prevents local law enforcement officers from working with federal agents on implementation of immigration, to be deported further. Pursuant to the Illinois Law Law signed by a Republican governor in 2017, local and state law enforcement laws are generally forbidden to deport or assist with similar tasks.
In the meantime, the federal law enforcement officers have become more visible in recent weeks, agents and civil servants have been seen. Walking in Chicago city center And go to a large number of Latin neighborhoods and suburbs, which are important Latin populations to stop people and make arrests. More than one video on social media showed that Jeers and the roads were arrested on the street while passing the road and residents.
That was the time on the shooting scene in Brighton Park on Saturday when there was a tense decline between activists and federal agents.
In the hours after the agents shot the woman, the activists gathered by the intersection where they took place and began to shout and mockery at the federal agents. After some protesters threw water bottles to agents, the agents responded to protesters using tear gas and chemical “pepper ball” bullets. The agents made several arrests before leaving the scene. Protesters were also separated.
DHS spokesman said the woman was hit by the hospital and the spokesman of the Sinai Mountain Hospital, then treated and released on Saturday afternoon.
In the last 60 years, Illinois National Guards have been summoned to Chicago to cope with rebellion and other unrest. Rev. In April 1968, Martin Luther King JR.
