CHICAGO - A WGN News creative services employee was accused of throwing an object at Border Patrol agents before being briefly detained on Friday.
The incident occurred near Lincoln and Foster avenues in the Lincoln Square neighborhood on Chicago's North Side. Multiple videos of the incident were posted on social media.
What we know: In the videos, the employee identifies herself as Debbie Brockman and mentions that she works for WGN.
In a post on X, Gregory Bovino, commander-at-large of the U.S. Border Patrol, accused the WGN employee of "throwing an object at Border Patrol Agents conducting lawful duties."
He said she will be charged with assault of a federal officer.
"Don’t become a negative news story," Bovino wrote. "Don’t assault ICE or Border Patrol.
The federal agents reportedly rammed their van into Brockman's car before forcing her to the ground and taking her into custody.
Bovino also said on X that charges were pending.

She kept saying that she works for WGN as if that equated to a get out of jail free card.

The initial reports from WGN made it sound like she was just standing there doing nothing and suddenly she was arrested.
