An ICE officer in a Chicago suburb fatally shot a suspect attempting to resist arrest on Friday, leading to renewed scrutiny over immigration enforcement strategies.
The incident occurred during a broader enforcement operation by federal officials targeting sanctuary policies in the area. The suspect, allegedly involved in reckless driving, was shot after driving his car at officers and dragging one, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
