Chicago police ordered to ignore Border Patrol agents’ plea for help while surrounded by angry mob of protesters (link). Is this really happening? Do those giving the "orders" not believe that they are in the U.S.? Whether those under attack are ICE agents or "Joe Blow" is it legal for mobs to attack American citizens? Excerpt:
Chicago police officers en route to help federal agents who were being surrounded and menaced by an angry mob of ICE protesters were seemingly ordered by their chief of patrol to stand down and not provide assistance, stunning dispatch audio and internal messages reveal.
The group of agents was conducting a routine patrol on the city’s South Side on Saturday “when they were attacked and rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars,” the Department of Homeland Security said....
Local cops were initially prepared to help the agents, but were ordered to stand down by the chief of patrol, according to shocking dispatch audio transmissions....
“When the offending vehicle crashed, they ran the federal agent off the road, they fled on foot westbound.”
