Federal agents shoot woman near Broadview ICE facility

Federal agents patrolling near the ICE processing center in Broadview, Illinois, shot and struck a woman Saturday morning after they said their vehicles were rammed and "boxed in by 10 cars." DHS and ICE said one of the drivers displayed a semiautomatic weapon, agents exited their vehicle and opened fire; the woman was taken to a hospital. The incident drew an FBI statement saying it will pursue charges related to violence against officers, and authorities reported some confusion over the precise scene with Chicago police describing a separate nearby shot‑report location.
