Chicago Police Chief’s ICE Move Is Being Praised Nationwide

"Let me make this CLEAR! Federal agents, ICE, HSI, are officers. They are agents of law enforcement."

"If you box them in...plow a VEHICLE, you're using DEADLY FORCE. And THEY can use deadly force in response to stop YOU!"

"We need to be clear about these laws. We cannot become a society where we just decide to take everything in our own hands and start to commit crimes against law enforcement!"

"It is a crime. You may not like what they're doing. I can understand that there's a lot of emotions out there, but that does NOT mean that you get to commit a crime, especially one that could lead to deadly force."

"We need to keep everyone safe. Our responsibilities when it comes to federal agents, and I've been asked these questions, we do not interfere with the duties and responsibilities of federal agents."
