The budding insurrection at the ICE detention center in Broadview, IL, has just hit high gear. According to a statement by Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, an undetermined number of federal agents had their cars rammed and boxed in by 10 cars. During the incident, agents fired shots at one armed perpetrator, wounding her. She medevaced herself. Notably, Chicago police have refused to aid in the investigation.
If this comes as a shock to you, then you haven't been paying attention to what is happening. Supported by the government of Governor Jay Robert Pritzker, the size of the protests continues to grow. Yesterday, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was refused admittance to Broadview's town hall, a patently illegal act, and the Broadview police chief vowed to tear down ICE barricades because he claims, without evidence, that they were erected illegally; see Illinois City Bars DHS Secretary Noem From City Hall and Intends to Tear Down ICE-Installed Barricades – RedState.
As I noted this morning (AG Bondi Appeals the Kavanaugh Assassination Sentence but That Is the Tip of the Judicial Iceberg – RedState), political violence has become acceptable by the left as it loses power and influence. The challenge for the Department of Justice will be to bring these people to justice and ensure that what is quite possibly a hostile judge and jury do their duty.
The good news, aside from the fact that only bad guys were hurt, is that this level of operation required coordination and funding. This could prove to be a critical step in establishing the command and control, as well as the financial, networks of Antifa.
