<p>Federal authorities nabbed an illegal immigrant with a lengthy rap sheet believed to be connected to a shooting targeting Border Patrol agents in Chicago over the weekend.</p>
<p>The suspect, whose name has yet to be released publicly, hails from Mexico and has previous convictions for aggravated unlawful use of a weapon/vehicle, felony possession of a weapon, and illegal entry, the Department of Homeland Security said Monday.</p>
<p>Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino told Fox News that &#8220;it&#8217;s possible&#8221; there are more suspects on the run.</p>
<p>&#8220;This individual should&#8217;ve never been walking the streets of Chicago. This is what you get with a JB Pritzker or a Mayor Johnson and that crazy rhetoric. This individual should not have been in this country,&#8221; Bovino said of the latest arrest.</p>
<p>The illegal immigrant must remain detained, per the Laken Riley Act. The suspect also has pending charges for allegedly assaulting officers.</p>
<p>Border Patrol agents <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-violence-must-end-man-opens-fire-on-border-patrol-agents-in-chicago-chaos-erupts">were shot at</a> on Saturday while conducting mass deportation operations in the Little Village neighborhood, which is largely populated with immigrants.</p>
<p>“Today, U.S. Border Patrol was conducting immigration enforcement operations near 26th Street and Kedzie Avenue in Chicago, Illinois, when an unknown male driving a black Jeep fired shots at agents and fled the scene,” the DHS posted to X on Saturday afternoon.</p>
<p>DHS said an “unknown number of agitators also threw a paint can and bricks at Border Patrol’s vehicles,” adding that the Chicago Police Department “was called for assistance and cleared the scene.”</p>
<p>“The shooter and vehicle remain at large, and this is a dynamic situation,” the post continued.</p>
<p>Footage from the scene showed chaos erupting in the streets as demonstrators shouted profanities at officers and filmed them.</p>
<p>DHS said on X Monday that the attack &#8220;is not isolated,&#8221; adding that it &#8220;reflects a growing and dangerous trend of violence and obstruction.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Over the past two months, we’ve seen an increase in assaults and obstruction targeting federal law enforcement during operations. These confrontations highlight the dangers our agents face daily and the escalating aggression toward law enforcement,&#8221; the agency wrote.</p>
