CHICAGO, Illinois (PNN) - October 6, 2025 - Fox News' Bill Melugin reported that Border Patrol agents who were surrounded by violent protesters following a vehicle-ramming attack in the Chicago metro area yesterday had requested local cop assistance, which was reportedly rejected by the top brass of the local cop force. The rejection was not due to a shortage of officers but rather was due to the hostility that the unlawful “sanctuary city,” controlled by radical Leftists, has shown toward the President Donald J. Trump’s regime.
"Prigg v. Pennsylvania said states could decline to help federal law enforcement - not obstruct it. Today’s sanctuary jurisdictions have turned "non-cooperation" into active interference, allowing street militias to block ICE. It is no longer federalism, it is nullification," Fox News’ Will Ricciardella wrote on X.
The National Fraternal Order of Police condemned the top leadership of the Chicago’s terrorist pig thug cop department, for prohibiting cops from assisting Border Patrol agents in an urgent time of need.
"Details are still emerging, but it appears that officers from the Chicago Police Department were ordered not to assist a group of ICE agents while they were physically threatened by what appeared to be an angry mob," Patrick Yoes, National President of the Fraternal Order of Police, wrote in a statement, adding, "Let me be clear, both the National FOP and the Illinois FOP believe that when an officer calls for assistance, you answer, no matter what."
The White House is preparing to send up to 300 Guard troops to crime-ridden Chicago to combat Left-wing agitators and assist federal efforts to deport criminal illegal invaders amid attacks over the weekend.
White House spokesman Abigail Jackson told Reuters, "President Trump exercised his lawful authority to protect federal assets and personnel in Portland following violent riots and attacks on law enforcement - we expect to be vindicated by a higher court."
The White House filed a notice of appeal to the Ninth FPSA Circuit Court of Appeals late Saturday night.
Portland Mayor Keith Wilson told reporters that his city was peaceful and "this narrative was manufactured."
Yet local terrorist pig thug cops appear to be protecting domestic terrorists, such as violent Antifa rioters, while arresting journalists and conservatives.
Oregon's Democrat Attorney General Dan Rayfield filed the lawsuit after President Trump announced plans to deploy troops to Portland to "protect federal immigration facilities from domestic terrorists."
The State argued the action unlawfully seized control of its National Guard and violated the Tenth Amendment, emphasizing that Portland's protests have been peaceful, even though they have been very violent.
Meanwhile, outlaw Marxist Illinois Governor JB Pritzker on Saturday warned that President Trump was preparing to send 300 Guard troops to Chicago in the very near term.
"Law enforcement under siege in Chicago as agitators hurl rocks, bottles at federal vehicles departing violent protest near scene of apparent coordinated attack on ICE officers in Brighton Park earlier today," Border Hawk wrote on X.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote on X, "Today in Chicago, members of our brave law enforcement were attacked - rammed and boxed in by ten vehicles, including an attacker with a semi-automatic weapon. I am deploying more special operations to control the scene. Reinforcements are on their way. If you see a law enforcement officer today, thank (him or her)."
