Antifa Steps up Attacks on the Border Patrol

Antifa are the left’s street soldiers.

The group’s wave of violence is a major issue in America.

And one Antifa militant just crossed this sick line.

As West Wing Daily reports:

While operating in Evanston, Illinois – a suburb of Chicago – a Border Patrol vehicle was suddenly confronted by an AntiFa protester.

As reported by Fox News:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told Fox News Digital that the violent confrontation unfolded Friday in Evanston, Illinois, after a suspect “aggressively tailgated” a Border Patrol vehicle and “grabbed the agent’s genitals and squeezed them.” The incident quickly drew what officials described as a “hostile” crowd of onlookers, devolving into chaos.

Homeland Security reported that this incident started when a protester first began to “aggressively tailgate” the vehicle operated by Border Patrol, risking a collision.

The agents reacted by attempting to make a turn to create space between their vehicle and the protester’s car, but the protester then allegedly rammed them. Officials report that one of the suspects then exited the civilian sedan and physically assaulted an agent.

DHS assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated:

“A hostile crowd then surrounded agents and their vehicle and began verbally abusing them and spitting on them.  One physically assaulted a Border Patrol agent and kicked another agent. As he was being arrested, he grabbed the [agent’s] genitals and squeezed them. As you know, this is an extremely painful experience for most human beings and justifies certain responses. The agent delivered several defensive strikes to the agitator to free his genitals from the agitator’s vice.”

Video footage of the incident – recorded by a member of the crowd – shows the agent attempting to place a man in handcuffs as both wrestle on the ground. It is unclear if the agent’s genitals were assaulted in this video footage, as alleged by DHS.  The suspect is recorded physically resisting the agents for roughly two minutes.

A red sedan can be clearly seen in the video, heavily damaged by a rear-end collision with the Border Patrol vehicle.  The video also shows a woman already in custody in the backseat of the agents’ vehicle.

The mob that surrounded the agents was described by the mayor of Evanston as a “rapid response team,” one of several formed by the community to track and disrupt federal law enforcement operations such as ICE raids.

As the agents struggled to place the suspect in custody, one member of the “Rapid Response Team” was recorded rushing forward and attempting to intervene with the arrest by grabbing at the agents.  Agents forced this man back and then threatened the mob with what appears to be a can of pepper spray.

According to the Chicago Police, as many as two additional arrests were made from the crowd of bystanders for interference.  It is unclear if the bystander who attempted to intervene was one of those arrested.

Such confrontations have become the norm for ICE and other federal agents as they pursue their legal duty in these anti-Trump, liberal enclaves.  They are typically surrounded by a much larger and very hostile force, placing them in an extremely stressful position.

The protesters in these communities cover their faces, scream obscenities, and frequently cross over the line into illegal interference or even assault upon a federal agent.

The federal law enforcement agents — and even local and state police – are left to worry that they may be attacked at any moment, giving rise to a heightened level of agitation.

These criminal actions are being exacerbated by the encouragement given by Democrat politicians who are issuing to the protesters, in the words of one conservative commentator, “a license to commit violence.”

President Trump made the mass removal of illegal aliens a key part of his presidential platform.  

Under the Biden Administration, America witnessed an unprecedented level of illegal entry into the United States.

Estimates now range to more than 20 million illegal aliens who need to be removed.

While Trump’s Justice Department and Homeland Security are prioritizing illegal aliens with additional criminal records – especially those with violent records – they have never shied away from deporting any illegal alien they happen to catch.

The mayor of Evanston, Daniel Biss, has described the federal agents as the criminals in this story and encouraged his citizens to take more actions like those seen that day.
