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.

"Donโ€™t become a negative news story," Bovino wrote. "Donโ€™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.

I thought it was a McDonnell-Douglas DC-10 in some shots but apparently the whole thing - definitely the landing

And those are NOT Rolls Royce engines

I was on a McDonnell-Douglas DC-10 just one time - Lis Angeles to Denver

Looks like this he-she-it wears the same glasses as the CrackerBarrel destroyer.

Thatโ€™s not a โ€œsheโ€, itโ€™s a land mass with a perm.

I noticed that Border Patrol agents used two handcuffs...They had no choice because she was just too big?

Throw the book at her!!!

According to the news report that I watched, she was later released...

It is possible that she could be arrested later on...I am sure that the feds know her name and where she lives...

So, if it works for WGN, itโ€™s OK to throw rocks or chunks of concrete or whatever out of a vehicle window at ICE agents?

Yeah, I donโ€™t think so, Debbie.
