by

CHICAGO — Officials from the Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday that the agency is investigating a series of bounties that have allegedly been placed on ICE agents in Chicago by criminal organizations in Mexico.

Officials from DHS said they have obtained “credible intelligence” indicating that targeted bounties on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) personnel have been placed by what it described as “Mexican criminals” working in coordination with “domestic extremist groups.”

“These criminal networks have issued explicit instructions to U.S.-based sympathetics, including street gangs in Chicago, to monitor, harass, and assassinate federal agents,” a spokesperson for the agency said in a press release shared on Wednesday morning.
