On Tuesday evening, a car drove through a gathering of anti-ICE protesters in Downtown Chicago, coinciding with a wave of similar protests across the nation. The incident occurred around 6:15 p.m. while hundreds were protesting against U.S. immigration enforcement.
In recent days, demonstrations have escalated in cities like Los Angeles, where tensions led to violent clashes with police, including vandalism and looting. Tuesday’s protests were largely peaceful, but tensions ran high with some protesters reportedly damaging police vehicles and public transport temporarily shut down.
Footage from FOX 32 Chicago displayed the moment when a woman in a vehicle drove through the demonstrators, despite attempts from the police to halt her. The outcome regarding any potential injuries remains unclear, as law enforcement awaited updates from officers at the scene.
Alderman Raymond Lopez commented on social media about the vandalism of police cars, expressing frustration over what he perceives as a lack of accountability for property damage. The protests in Chicago and other cities stem from a broader backlash against the intensified deportation efforts led by President Donald Trump’s administration.
Protesters around the country, including Chicago, are raising their voices in response to the perception of increasing aggression in immigration enforcement, asserting that people are unjustly detained and demanding justice.
