FBI Director Kash Patel vowed Sunday that there would be "justice" for those who rammed a DHS agents' vehicle in Chicago on Saturday.
Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz were arrested after the incident. Martinez, who was armed with a semiautomatic rifle, was shot by agents defending the scene, treated for injuries, and released from the hospital into federal custody.
"They have been charged for assaulting federal officers with a deadly or dangerous weapon," Patel said. "Attack our law enforcement, and this FBI will find you and bring you to justice."
An FBI source told Fox News Digital that the bureau is treating the cases as AFOs, or assaults on a federal officer. The officers in the vehicle were not seriously hurt when their vehicle was hemmed in by multiple vehicles, then rammed.
Both suspects have been described as domestic terrorists, and Martinez has a history of doxxing federal officers.
According to a DHS news release, the scene became "increasingly violent as more domestic terrorists gathered and began throwing smoke, gas, rocks, and bottles at DHS law enforcement."
"Another domestic terrorist was arrested for assaulting CBP at the scene," the statement added. "Following JB Prtizker’s refusal to allow local police to help secure the scene, Secretary Noem has deployed special operations teams to restore law and order."
Two other suspects were arrested on Friday in the Chicago area for a similar attempt at ramming ICE officers' vehicles.
Miguel Escareno De Loera and Widman Osberto Lopez-Funes both face charges of weaponizing their vehicles in "deliberate attempts to ram and injure" ICE officers, Fox Digital reported.
Chicago has resisted attempts by the Trump administration to lower crime by using federal officers.
Both Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D) have ordered local police not to assist federal agents in apprehending those breaking the law, including illegal immigrants in the city.
On Sunday night, President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago, prompting officials there to file a lawsuit to prevent the deployment.
A judge on Sunday blocked a similar deployment of troops to Portland, Oregon as protesters have surrounded an ICE building there.
What are we to conclude from these actions by Democrats to side with criminals against law enforcement but that they want crime in their cities? No wonder people are fleeing the party in droves.
