A group of Chicago Democrats, demoralized over their powerlessness to stop ICE from enforcing the law, have taken to street violence in the Windy City today.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers clashed with protesters who were trying to blockade official vehicles, obstruct officers from coming and going, and even slashing police tires on Friday outside its Broadview facility, as the Trump administration continues its “Operation Midway Blitz” campaign to rid Chicago of “the worst of the worst” criminal illegals.
The protesters became so violent and obstructive that ICE officers tossed gas canisters among the crowd to disperse them and get them back to their protest lines.
Video shows protesters surging forward past protest lines to pressure ICE officers and hamper their movements.
NewsNation reported that protesters slashed the tires of one federal vehicle on Friday.
“These riots outside the ICE Broadview Processing Center and attacks on ICE officers come after Democrat politicians, including Governor Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson, have villainized and demonized ICE law enforcement,” the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said in a statement emailed to Breitbart News.
Several arrests were made and one protester in particular, extreme left-wing candidate for congress Kat Abughazalehm, was tossed to the ground when she tried to approach ICE vehicles.

Padilla who tried to break through from being held back when he lunged at the podium where Kirtis Noem was speaking, these activist politicians are supposed to gain our sympathy and have us regard them as the new version of Henry David Thoreau.
Actually closer to Bozo the Clown.
One reference weas made yesterday to Tom Paine, something I find deeply disturbing.
Were these domestic terrorists on-the-clock from S0r0$ or other leftist funders?
