Law enforcement experts say federal agents have displayed a lack of training and restraint. “They’re out of control,” ex-police Supt. Garry McCarthy says.

That’s when the vehicles driven by Ruiz and Martinez collided with a federal vehicle.</p><p>As agents jumped out, Martinez allegedly drove toward one of them, court records show. A Border Patrol agent fired roughly five times toward Martinez’s vehicle — and Martinez continued driving north on Kedzie after being shot.</p><p>Martinez now faces a federal assault charge and was released pending trial, along with Ruiz.</p><p>Federal authorities and Chicago police closed down Kedzie between Pershing and 40th Street after the shooting. And as the morning turned to afternoon, tensions rose.</p><h2><b>A questionable call</b></h2><p>The Brighton Park incident was the first major clash placing the Chicago Police Department between federal agents and protesters, many of whom came out of their houses to denounce the Trump administration’s deportation campaign.</p><p>According to police radio traffic and notes from a dispatcher that afternoon, Hein ordered police to hand over the scene to federal agents.</p><p>After officers left the scene, a federal agent called 911 to report a growing and agitated crowd. The lieutenant giving orders told responding officers to wait a couple blocks back, and then ordered officers not to respond, “per the chief of patrol.”</p><p>An officer at the scene helping out with a traffic crash report mentioned a crowd but said she was fine with her team there.</p><p>“If she needs help we absolutely help our own, alright?” the lieutenant told the dispatcher. And later: “Get them the information they need and get them the hell out of there.”</p><p>The dispatcher checked with the lieutenant “just to confirm. …They were being surrounded by that large crowd and they were requesting the police, we’re not sending? I’m waving off all the cars heading to 39th Place and Kedzie?” she asked.</p><p>“Again, those are the orders we’re being given,” the lieutenant said.</p><p>The move prompted condemnation among conservatives on social media, including a scathing post by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The Chicago Fraternal Order of Police responded by issuing a no-confidence vote in Hein and calling for him to be stripped of his policing powers.</p><p>Hein’s order to clear the scene was ultimately countermanded, and Chicago police officers in patrol uniforms wearing name tags and star numbers on their vests responded to take over security.</p><p>They relieved officials from at least three federal agencies who wore camouflage coveralls, face coverings and sunglasses, ballistic helmets and vests. Most of the federal agents didn’t have any unique identifiers, like name tags or badge numbers, on their uniforms.</p><p>They retreated behind the Chicago police, who formed a line between them and the crowd. Chicago police faced the demonstrators as they formed the line.</p><p>Starting around 2:15 p.m. the federal agents used tear gas multiple times over the next hour. At one point, agents deployed gas to move a crowd back on Kedzie as they arrested someone, sending Chicago police officers running upwind to avoid the smoke.</p><p>The agents ultimately fired tear-gas canisters and other riot-control munitions into the neighborhood as they got into unmarked SUVs and pickup trucks and left. More than two dozen Chicago police officers were injured by the gas throughout the day.</p><p>The afternoon became emblematic of the federal response to demonstrators and neighborhood residents shouting, blowing whistles and at times throwing objects in protest.</p><p>Protesters and some journalists sued the feds over their uses of force on protesters at an ICE facility in Broadview and elsewhere in Chicago. Gregory Bovino, CBP’s chief of patrol, said in a deposition played at a Wednesday court hearing that all the use of force by agents had been “more than exemplary.”</p><h2><b>A flood of complaints</b></h2><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center> <div class="Enhancement-item" data-crop=""> <figure class="Figure"><a class="AnchorLink" id="image-d60000" name="image-d60000"></a> <picture data-crop="medium"> <source type="image/webp" width="490" height="275" data-srcset="https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/9042671/2147483647/strip/true/crop/4986x2798+0+264/resize/490x275!/format/webp/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fe5%2Fbd%2Fd4c876a746ca8d7627df0701ff55%2Ficeshooting-100525-0007.jpg 1x,https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/c90a89f/2147483647/strip/true/crop/4986x2798+0+264/resize/980x550!/format/webp/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fe5%2Fbd%2Fd4c876a746ca8d7627df0701ff55%2Ficeshooting-100525-0007.jpg 2x" data-lazy-load="true" srcset="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyNzVweCIgd2lkdGg9IjQ5MHB4Ij48L3N2Zz4=" /> <source width="490" height="275" data-srcset="https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/8d3a2e1/2147483647/strip/true/crop/4986x2798+0+264/resize/490x275!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fe5%2Fbd%2Fd4c876a746ca8d7627df0701ff55%2Ficeshooting-100525-0007.jpg" data-lazy-load="true" srcset="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyNzVweCIgd2lkdGg9IjQ5MHB4Ij48L3N2Zz4=" /> <img class="Image" alt="People protest on Oct. 4 near Pershing Road and Kedzie Avenue in Brighton Park after U.S. Border Patrol agents shot a woman nearby." srcset="https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/8d3a2e1/2147483647/strip/true/crop/4986x2798+0+264/resize/490x275!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fe5%2Fbd%2Fd4c876a746ca8d7627df0701ff55%2Ficeshooting-100525-0007.jpg 1x,https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/27600f2/2147483647/strip/true/crop/4986x2798+0+264/resize/980x550!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fe5%2Fbd%2Fd4c876a746ca8d7627df0701ff55%2Ficeshooting-100525-0007.jpg 2x" width="490" height="275" data-src="https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/8d3a2e1/2147483647/strip/true/crop/4986x2798+0+264/resize/490x275!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fe5%2Fbd%2Fd4c876a746ca8d7627df0701ff55%2Ficeshooting-100525-0007.jpg" data-lazy-load="true" src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyNzVweCIgd2lkdGg9IjQ5MHB4Ij48L3N2Zz4=" > </picture> <div class="Figure-content"><figcaption class="Figure-caption"><p></p><p>People protest on Oct. 4 near Pershing Road and Kedzie Avenue in Brighton Park after U.S. Border Patrol agents shot a woman nearby.</p></figcaption><span class="line"></span><div class="Figure-credit"><p>Candace Dane Chambers / Sun-Times</p></div></div> </figure> </div> </div><p>Hein was the subject of more than 30 internal complaints stemming from the response to the shooting in early October.</p><p>Most of the complaints have been administratively closed.

That was long after Snelling had publicly defended Hein during the news conference on Oct. 6, two days after the shooting.</p><p>After the Sun-Times and Illinois Answers Project challenged the decision with the Illinois attorney general’s office, seeking to pry the records loose, COPA now has provided a different explanation for keeping the document private, saying its release would impede an ongoing investigation.</p><p>COPA has used that same reasoning to withhold videos the agency has collected in connection with another investigation over accusations that protesters were shoved by police officers and tear gassed by federal agents following the shooting.</p><p>Sources have said police didn’t use force that day and also didn’t suffer any injuries at the hands of protesters.</p><p>Customs and Border Protection, the federal agency that includes the Border Patrol, has denied a request for 10 body-camera videos, saying such a disclosure could interfere with an investigation, constitute an invasion of privacy and “reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of any individual.”</p><h2><b> ‘My partner in crime’</b></h2><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center> <div class="Enhancement-item" data-crop=""> <figure class="Figure"><a class="AnchorLink" id="image-410000" name="image-410000"></a> <picture data-crop="medium"> <source type="image/webp" width="490" height="275" data-srcset="https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/e3e61c5/2147483647/strip/true/crop/7002x3930+0+370/resize/490x275!/format/webp/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F54%2F91%2Fe6679b464da5a8c34a348641d49f%2Fsnelling-100725-009.jpg 1x,https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/fae762d/2147483647/strip/true/crop/7002x3930+0+370/resize/980x550!/format/webp/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F54%2F91%2Fe6679b464da5a8c34a348641d49f%2Fsnelling-100725-009.jpg 2x" data-lazy-load="true" srcset="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyNzVweCIgd2lkdGg9IjQ5MHB4Ij48L3N2Zz4=" /> <source width="490" height="275" data-srcset="https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/48cbbd1/2147483647/strip/true/crop/7002x3930+0+370/resize/490x275!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F54%2F91%2Fe6679b464da5a8c34a348641d49f%2Fsnelling-100725-009.jpg" data-lazy-load="true" srcset="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyNzVweCIgd2lkdGg9IjQ5MHB4Ij48L3N2Zz4=" /> <img class="Image" alt="Police Supt.
