Shots fired at Border Patrol agents during immigration operation in Little Village, DHS says

A responding Chicago police officer was injured during the incident, officials said...

"All you want to do is protect everyone who's in here. And you almost feel like for instance for me I feel helpless," Macias said.

Michelle Macias said Saturday was the second time federal agents have come to Carniceria y Taqueria Aguascalientes in recent weeks. Macias says agents came to buy a drink and were denied service.

"There were about 10 agents that walked in here. And our cashier that was working in the morning she told them you need to get out," Macias said. "When Bovino was outside, my dad was telling him, 'Get off my property.'"

Saturday afternoon, warning whistles and vehicle horns once again blared as neighbors say federal agents attempted, unsuccessfully, to detain a man and his 11-year-old niece near 25th and Sawyers.

Tensions flared after CPD was once again called for crowd control when federal agents left after claiming a vehicle rammed their SUV.
