US EditionHigh-speed Border Patrol chase ends in arrest, tear gas used on protesters on Chicago’s South Side
Federal agents used tear gas after objects were thrown during a chase that ended in a crash and multiple arrests, with 13 police officers exposed, authorities said.
- On Tuesday, U.S. Border Patrol agents pursued a red SUV and crashed near 105th Street and Avenue N on Chicago's East Side, arresting occupants and sending one man to Advocate Trinity Hospital.
- U.S. Customs and Border Protection said agents were pursuing undocumented individuals when the red SUV `rammed` a Border Patrol vehicle, part of an immigration enforcement operation Tuesday morning.
- At 105th and Avenue N, residents and protesters gathered after the crash, and some threw objects at federal agents, prompting tear gas deployment that affected about 13 Chicago Police Department officers.
- At least four people were arrested, including two undocumented immigrants and two U.S. citizens, while the Chicago Police Department documented the crash at 11:07 a.m. but did not assist.
- Despite a court order last week, Tuesday's tear gas use marked the second deployment after U.S. District Court judge Sara Ellis banned it, and Illinois governor JB Pritzker called the treatment `abominable`.
