Authorities are searching for a man who allegedly shot at U.S. Border Patrol agents Saturday during immigration operations in Chicago.
Border patrol agents were conducting immigration enforcement operations in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood, when a man driving a black Jeep fired shots at agents and fled the scene, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Following the shooting, a group of people threw a paint can and bricks at border patrol vehicles, DHS said.
Local affiliate FOX 32 Chicago reported a flash bang was deployed, as crowds surrounded federal agents for multiple blocks.
At least one person was detained, according to the outlet.
City Alderman Michael Rodriguez, of the 22nd Ward, posted a video to Facebook accusing the agents of "causing all sorts of mayhem."
"They’re doing things that are unconstitutional, that are illegal," Rodriguez said. "They are causing fear and mayhem in our communities and that's unacceptable."
