Border Patrol shoots woman on Southwest Side; agents, protesters battle for hours
The shooting occurred Saturday in Brighton Park when federal patrols were “rammed by 10 cars,” according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security, which has yet to be verified. In the protests that followed, agents used tear gas and pepper balls.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10/04/shoot...U.S. Border Patrol shot a woman Saturday on the Southwest Side, marking the second shooting involving federal agents in Chicago since President Donald Trump’s administration launched an aggressive immigration enforcement operation in the area last month.
Following the late-morning incident in Brighton Park, an angry crowd gathered. About 100 protesters were met with pepper balls and tear gas deployed by federal agents in skirmishes that lasted until late afternoon. Later Saturday, the White House announced that it would send 300 National Guard troops to Illinois despite Gov. JB Pritzker’s objections.
Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said the Brighton Park shooting erupted after patrolling agents were “rammed by 10 cars” and “boxed in.” Agents then fired “defensive shots” when they discovered the woman “was armed with a semi-automatic weapon” while driving one of the cars, McLaughlin said.
The Chicago Sun-Times and WBEZ have not independently verified the feds’ account. The exact time and location of the shooting weren’t immediately known.
McLaughlin said “no law enforcement officers were seriously injured,” and the wounded woman “drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds.” But Larry Merritt, a Chicago Fire Department spokesman, said she was found near South 35th Street and California Avenue and taken in fair condition to Mount Sinai Hospital. She was treated and discharged, a hospital spokesman said.
Chicago police records shared with the Sun-Times show that a Border Patrol agent had called for assistance, reporting that roughly 30 agents had been “surrounded by a large crowd of people.” But police officials weren’t sent to help, the records show.
A police spokesperson said officers ultimately responded to a call of a person shot in the 3900 block of South Kedzie Avenue “to document the incident” and “maintain safety and traffic control for all living and working in the area.”
“We’re here so that you can protest,” Chicago Police Deputy Chief Gabriella Shemash told protesters.
But the Chicago Police Department “is not involved in the incident or its investigation. Federal authorities are investigating this shooting,” the spokesperson said.
The shooting happened about 10:30 a.m., according to workers at the Clark gas station and Liantas Tires.
