<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were targeted in two separate car attacks during enforcement operations in the Chicago area on Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told The Daily Wire. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Illegal aliens “weaponized their vehicles in deliberate attempts to ram and injure” agents making arrests in Bensenville and Norridge, Illinois, DHS said Thursday. The attacks occurred as ICE continues to carry out &#8220;Operation Midway Blitz,&#8221; a massive illegal alien crackdown targeting the Chicago area that has yielded over <a href="https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/operation-midway-blitz-surpasses-900-arrests-illinois-dhs-says">900 arrests</a>. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Thankfully, none of our law enforcement was killed because of these deranged criminals&#8217; attacks on law enforcement. This is exactly what happens when Governor Pritzker, Mayor Johnson, and other sanctuary politicians demonize ICE and encourage illegal aliens to resist law enforcement,” Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told The Daily Wire. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the first instance, Miguel Escareno De Loera, an illegal alien from Mexico, rammed his car into an ICE vehicle twice before jumping a curb and crashing into a stop, according to DHS.  </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is unknown when Escareno De Loera entered the United States, as he was not stopped at the border. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the second attack, Widman Osberto Lopez-Funes, an illegal alien from Guatemala, slammed his vehicle into ICE agents during an enforcement operation before running on foot to his home in Bensenville, DHS said. He was later taken into custody.  </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is also unknown when Lopez-Funes illegally crossed into the United States. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Both men are expected to face criminal charges for assaulting federal law enforcement and will remain in ICE custody as they face deportation. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Our ICE law enforcement is facing a more than 1000% increase in assaults—including cars being used as weapons against them. Secretary Noem has been clear: anyone who assaults law enforcement will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” McLaughlin said. </span></p>
<p>The Trump administration has faced backlash from leftist protesters as they carry out operations around Chicago. Democrats, including Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, continue to voice their opposition to the efforts to clean up the city.</p>
