A driver fired shots at Customs and Border Patrol agents in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood on Saturday, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
DHS said the border patrol agents were “conducting immigration enforcement operations” near 26th Street and Kedzie Avenue when a man driving a black Jeep fired shots.
DHS also said people nearby threw a paint can and bricks at the agents’ vehicles.
The Chicago Police Department was called to clear the scene. CBS News Chicago has reached out to Chicago police for further details.
No arrests have been made. DHS said the shooter remains at large.
Saturday marked two months since the start of the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement effort dubbed “Operation Midway Blitz” began in the Chicago area.
DHS said there have been more than 3,000 arrests since the start of Operation Midway Blitz in September. Officials would not say when the operation is expected to end.
