The US border patrol staff shot an armed woman in Chicago on Saturday, said the US Ministry of Homeland Security, as the Governor from Illinois said, the Trump administration is planning to promote and use hundreds from National Guard to the state.
The woman was shot after numerous demonstrators were confronted against the federal immigration officers on the southwestern side of Chicago.
In the incident in which a group, to which the woman included the group used by the US immigration and customs authority (ICE), no law enforcement officers were seriously injured, said a spokesman for the Ministry of Homeland Protection in a statement.
According to the statement, the woman, a US citizen who was not identified, went to the hospital. No additional information was available about the woman’s condition. ICE agent fired pepper spray and invited rubber balls as part of the heated exchange with demonstrators on Saturday.
The US secretary for home protection, Kristi NoEM, said in a post on X that she sent additional “special operations” to check the scene in Chicago’s district of Brighton Park.
On several occasions, demonstrators who sit on the floor and try to prevent ice vehicles from carrying out, carrying prisoners in the facility, were repelled by heavily armed ice agents with physical power, chemical ammunition and rubber balls, whereby combat scenes are caused.
Demonstrators have condemned what they described in other democratic cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, and Portland, ORE, similar persistent police work.
“Call your troops, otherwise we will.”
Also on Saturday, the Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said that the state’s National Guard received the Pentagon in the morning that 300 of its members were called. He did not state when or where they would be used, but President Donald Trump threatened to send troops to Chicago for a long time.
“This morning the Ministry of War gave me an ultimatum: call your troops or we will do it,” said Pritzker in a statement.
“It is absolutely outrageous and un -American to demand a governor to send military troops within our own limits and against our will.”
US President Donald Trump has threatened to use National Guard for Chicago to combat crime, but in a press conference on Monday, the Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said that there is no emergency who justifies the use of the National Guard and warned that he could take legal measures if Trump could.
A spokeswoman for the governor’s office said that she could not provide any additional details. The White House and the Pentagon did not respond to questions about Pritzker’s statement.
Pritzker named Trump’s move to Illinois a “produced performance” that would pull away the troops of the national guard of the state from their families and regular jobs.
“For Donald Trump, it was never about security. This is about control,” said the governor, who also found that state, district district and local law enforcement agencies have coordinated to ensure the safety of an ice facility on the outskirts of Chicago.
Trump hits legal hurdles in Oregon, California
The escalation of the federal law enforcement authorities in Illinois follows similar missions in other parts of the country. Trump used the national guard to Los Angeles in the summer, and as part of his takeover of law enforcement agencies in Washington, DC is now expected to help Tennessee National Guard from the Memphis police.
Gavin Newsom, Governor of California, sued the assignment in Los Angeles and won a temporary block before the Federal Supreme Court. The Trump government has appealed that the use of the guard was illegal, and a three-judge committee of the 9th US Court of Appeal has pointed out that it is of the opinion that the government will probably prevail.
In Oregon, a federal judge also temporarily blocked the Trump administration on Saturday to use troops to Portland, and governor Tina Kotek welcomed the decision in a statement by saying: “Justice was served.”
The US immigration and customs authority in the city has been a few dozen people in the past few weeks.
The Ministry of Defense provided 20000 days of the National Guard in Oregon under federal control to protect federal property from an order from the US district judge Karin Imgut.
“There are no uprisings in Portland … no fires, no bombs, no deaths due to community weapons,” said Kotek in the explanation on Saturday. “The only threat to which we are exposed is is our democracy – and it is led by President Donald Trump.”
