Bozo Bovino and his lying ways continue in the federal invasion of Chicago. Because of a report of a drive-by shooting, agents decide that there are new rules of engagement and that everyone is out to shoot them. It’s the only way that the Trump administration can rationalize the call-up of federal(ized) troops. Their hopes for more federal repression are being fulfilled by Fox News reports of being shot at.
CBP agents pointed guns out of their car windows at civilians and members of the media, including two Tribune photographers, as they roamed around the neighborhood.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said someone fired at federal agents Saturday morning in the Little Village neighborhood, touching off a chaotic series of confrontations between agents and residents armed with whistles and bent on disrupting their operation.
Both Chicago police and federal officials were seen making several arrests in the morning as agents, including Commander Gregory Bovino, circled the neighborhood, deploying chemical crowd controls in several locations.
In a written statement Saturday, DHS officials said Border Patrol officers were fired on by an unknown man in a Black Jeep, who fled the scene. No one was reported injured and few details were offered.
The statement also stated that “agitators threw a paint can and bricks at Border Patrol’s vehicles,” adding that Chicago police helped clear the scene.
In its own statement, the Chicago Police Department said officers responded to calls of shots fired at federal agents, but found no signs of anyone struck by gunfire and secured the area where the alleged shooting took place. Police reported one officer was in good condition after being struck by a vehicle during the chaos, and the driver was cited.
