Violence or protection? The Daily Caller on Saturday, October 4. 2025 ran an article headlined, “Feds Open Fire On Armed Suspect In Chicago After Drivers Allegedly Ram, Box Them In.”
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a Saturday incident in Chicago involving border patrol agents who were “attacked and rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars” and “forced” to open fire on an armed woman.
No law enforcement officers were seriously harmed during the incident, according to authorities. The FBI is on the scene of what is described as an “evolving situation” which followed a week of the suspects doxing federal officers online, according to DHS. The agency condemned the apparent use of vehicles against law enforcement on Thursday after DHS said “illegal aliens” targeted U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers with cars during two separate incidents in Chicago.
“While conducting routine patrolling in the greater Broadview area, near the same area of Chicago that law enforcement was assaulted yesterday, our brave law enforcement officers were rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars this morning,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a Saturday statement. “Agents were unable to move their vehicle and exited the car. One of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon. Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fired defensive shots at an armed U.S. citizen who drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds.”
ICE launched “Operation Midway Blitz” in Chicago and across Illinois on Sept. 8 to target illegal migrants who “flocked” to the region due to its sanctuary laws, according to DHS. Local politicians, including Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, have railed against the Trump administration for these efforts. In addition, many riots have broken out across the region.
Thomas Robb, National Director of the Knights Party of the Ku Klux Klan based in Harrison, Arkansas spoke from his office, “Right away the Leftist crazies will probably try to spin the idea that law enforcement ‘gunned down a helpless woman’ while walking her dog’ story, which may have worked while Biden was president, but the facts speak for themselves, and we’re allowed to call things as we see them while President Trump is in the White House. Here is a lawless fruitcake that thinks it’s ok to ram police vehicles, block them in, and advance on officers brandishing a firearm. I teach members of the Knights to keep control of themselves at all times and to talk rationally with people because more will listen to what they have to say if they show themselves as intelligent. With that being said, I also teach members that the Second Amendment gives them the right to bear arms to protect themselves, their families, their neighbors, and even against a government that turns tyrannical on its citizens. If this would be a Knights member that killed this lunatic to protect themselves, I would use this as a learning tool to teach my members to not worry about speaking rationally in this case, but to level the ‘red dot’ to protect themselves. There is a big difference between randomly killing someone out of pure violence and killing someone to protect yourself.”
