FRANKLIN PARK, Ill. — A man was shot and killed by ICE Friday morning in the Chicago suburb of Franklin Park and an agent suffered severe injuries.
ICE said they were conducted law enforcement activity in the 9800 block of Grand Avenue and conducted a vehicle stop. A man resisted and attempted to drive his vehicle into the arresting team, according to ICE.
The agent was dragged, according to ICE.
The agent discharged his firearm and struck the man driving. Both the man and agent were transported to a local hospital.
The person was pronounced dead at the hospital and the agent was stabilized but suffered severe injuries, according to ICE.
“Viral social media videos and activists encouraging illegal aliens to resist law enforcement not only spread misinformation, but also undermine public safety, the safety of our officers and those being apprehended,” an ICE spokesperson said.
WGN News has a crew at the scene and will update this story once more information becomes available.
