An agent of the Federal Police Office for Migration (ICE) shot and killed a man today, as police were trying to arrest him in a Chicago suburb, the Ministry of Interior Ministry (DHS) and local officials said.

Ice police officers checked in a vehicle to arrest Silverian Viyjega-Gonnales when the latter drove his car to police officers, DHS said, without specifying the nationality of the man.

“He refused to follow the instructions of the agents and drove his car towards them. One of the Ice officers was hit by the car and drifting away. Fearing for his life, he used his weapon, “the ministry added.

“The officer has suffered multiple traumas and is being hospitalized in a stable condition. The illegal immigrant was declared dead, “the ministry said. Silver Viyega-Gonnales had a “historic dangerous driving. He entered the country on an unknown date, “the DHS noted, justifying its designation as a” criminal “. At the same time, he stressed that the police officer made an “proportional use of force”.

The Trump government announced on Monday that it is launching an ICE operation in Chicago, against the “worst of the worst criminals illegal immigrants”, while the US president threatened to develop the ethnicity in the big city. Trump’s threats were treated with protests throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. The president said today that he would send troops of the National Guard to Memphis, Tennessee.

The operation, baptized “Midway Blitz”, will target “criminals of illegal immigrants who terrorize Americans” in Illinois, the state where the third largest city is located in the US, the interior security ministry (DHS) said in the press release.

Lilian Hymeneth, a Member of the State for the 4th District of Illinois in Chicago, criticized ICE for death in Franklin Park, a Chicago suburb. “This puts our whole community at risk, the way Ice works,” he said. “Now we saw the absolute, horrible conditions for which we were all worried. They deprived the life of a member of our community, “he said.

The DHS said in its announcement that the incident happened in Chicago. Illinois and Illinois Governor Jay Robert Prichker said they had happened in Franklin Park.

“The people of Illinois are entitled to a complete, documented recording of what happened today to ensure transparency and accountability,” Prichker said in a post on X.
