Anti-ICE agitators escalated their demonstrations in Illinois this week, with some caught on camera apparently calling for violence against federal agents, as reported by The Blaze.
The clashes came just days after the deadly shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas, heightening concerns over the safety of law enforcement officers across the country.
On Friday, Blaze News national correspondent Julio Rosas recorded footage outside an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, where a crowd of protesters attempted to block a federal vehicle from entering the compound.
The standoff quickly escalated as several individuals in the crowd shouted hostile chants. One agitator yelled, “Arrest ICE!” before another was heard shouting, “Shoot ICE!” The same individual followed up with, “Shoot the f**kers! Shoot the f**ker!” The statements were captured on video.
