"Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino was there. He could be seen in cellphone video with an apparent tear gas canister in his hand. Residents demanded the detained woman's release while in pursuit of their caravan. During the incident, DHS says an unknown male, who was driving a black Jeep, fired shots at agents and fled the scene. DHS also said "an unknown number of agitators" threw a paint can and bricks at Border Patrol vehicles."
"Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez says cellphone video recorded by a resident shows something different. "It's very clear. They came out of the vehicles pointing their weapons and they used tear gas on people," Sigcho-Lopez said. Moments later, a Chicago police officer who had been called to the intersection for crowd control was hit by a car, another officer at the scene told our Chicago sister station, WLS. He was taken to the hospital. CPD has not updated his condition."
