<p>The War Department will deploy roughly 400 soldiers from Texas to Chicago and Portland as the feds face mounting threats from anti-ICE activists.</p>
<p>The latest attack on federal immigration authorities occurred on Saturday morning, when “officers were rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars” in Broadview, Illinois, Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin <a href="https://x.com/TriciaOhio/status/1974524869892276682" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on X.</p>

<p>The agents were trapped in and had to exit their car before they encountered one of the drivers who allegedly rammed them and determined that they were “armed with a semi-automatic weapon,” forcing the feds to “fire defensive shots at an unarmed U.S. citizen,” according to McLaughlin.</p>
<p>The armed alleged attacker, who was later <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/10/04/update-dhs-deploys-special-operations-after-multiple-violent-attacks-federal-law" target="_blank" rel="noopener">identified</a> as Marimar Martinez, was the subject of a federal law enforcement intelligence bulletin that circulated last week after she was allegedly “doxing agents and posting online ‘Hey to all my gang let’s f*** those motherf****ers up, don’t let them take anyone.’”</p>
<p>Pritzker said “no officials from the federal government” contacted him “directly to discuss or coordinate” the deployment.</p>
<p>“It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops,” he said.</p>

<p>The Illinois governor also called on Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) to stop the effort in its tracks.</p>
<p>“I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation,” Pritzker wrote.</p>
<p>“The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness,” he added.</p>

<p>But Abbott <a href="https://x.com/GregAbbott_TX/status/1975027635295007073" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> he’s not going to back down.</p>
<p>“I fully authorized the President to call up 400 members of the Texas National Guard to ensure safety for federal officials. You can either fully enforce protection for federal employees or get out of the way and let Texas Guard do it,” Abbott wrote on X.</p>
<p>“No Guard can match the training, skill, and expertise of the Texas National Guard. They defend our country with pride. America must also know that Texas still has thousands of National Guard assisting with the Border security,” he said.</p>
<p>The Trump administration commenced “Operation Midway Blitz” in an effort to nab illegal immigrants roaming the sanctuary state on September 8, resulting in more than 1,000 arrests.</p>
<p>With that, anti-ICE protesters have gathered outside an agency facility in Broadview, where demonstrators have tried to block agents from driving in and out of the facility.</p>
