On Sunday Chicago Police Department officers were ordered to “stand down” while federal agents were under attack in the city’s Brighton Park neighborhood on Saturday morning.
The Gateway Pundit reported that federal officers from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were ambushed by a convoy of roughly ten vehicles in what officials described as a “coordinated assault” by domestic extremists protesting President Trump’s ongoing deportation operations in Chicago.
The confrontation began when a vehicle driven by Marimar Martinez, a known agitator with a history of doxxing ICE agents online, allegedly rammed an ICE patrol unit while brandishing a semi-automatic weapon.
Trapped and outnumbered, agents were forced to exit their vehicles and fire defensive shots, striking Martinez in the shoulder.
On Monday Polk County Florida Sheriff Grady Judd released a video statement condemning the dangerous actions of the Chicago Police Department.
She fled the scene and later checked into Mount Sinai Hospital before being taken into FBI custody. Another suspect, Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, was arrested and remains in federal detention.
No federal officers sustained life-threatening injuries, though several CBP agents were treated for minor wounds following the assault.
Despite 911 calls made by the agents, Chicago officers did not respond, following a direct “no response” order from command.
An audio recording captured the moment units en route to the scene were waved off, with the dispatcher noting, “I’m waving off all of the cars heading to 39th Place in Kedzie. Another person states, “Those are the orders we’re giving.”
Chicago attorney and former police lieutenant John Garrido, of Garrido & Stoppa, P.C., weighed in on social media, calling the stand-down directive “deeply disturbing and possibly illegal.”
on Monday Polk County Florida Sheriff Grady Judd released a statement after Chicago police refused to assist their fellow ICE crime fighters as they were being attacked by anarchists on the streets of Chicago.
Sheriff Grady condemned the actions, saying, “People will die! People will be shot!” if this continues.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd: Hello, I’m Sheriff Grady Judd. I’ve spent my entire adult life in law enforcement, and I have never heard of one law enforcement agency not helping another when they call for help until this weekend when a chief of patrol, where the Chicago Police Department, instructed the police officers not to run in and help their colleagues who were calling for help, who were under attack by a bunch of people clearly violating the law.
That’s scary. Let me give you the antithesis of that. We had a single man resist ICE agents and get away from them in our community. We sent a helicopter, a drone, canine, and 50 law enforcement officers to surround an area, and we We found that guy who violently resisted ICE, and we locked him up in jail where he should have been.
If you allow anarchists and criminals to run wild in your community, people will die. People will be shot.
Now, let me say this. For other law enforcement leaders across this state and nation, you need to be standing up saying the same exact thing that I am. Because when you have a breakdown of the rule of law, when you allow anarchists, criminals to take over the streets and attack law enforcement officers and then not send them help, that’s a slippery slope, a real slippery slope.
