An SUV driven by the federal agents collided with the car they were pursuing, #Chicago PD said, sending that car into another vehicle that was parked nearby.
After the crash, dozens of additional #immigration agents in masks arrived & residents emerged from their houses, gathering on streets & sidewalks, throwing objects at agents & shouting, “ICE go home!”

As the agents left, they released #TearGas, apparently without warning, sending people coughing & running for cover. Among those affected by the gas were 13 #Chicago #Police Dept officers, CPD said, & at least one officer was seen rinsing his eyes out with water from a neighbor’s garden hose.
A spox for #DHS said that the federal agents were conducting an #immigration enforcement operation when 2 people tried to flee & hit the agents’ vehicle [ #lies].
