Chicago Police Chief Says Federal Agents Must Be Respected After Minneapolis ICE Shooting

Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling pushed back against criticism of law enforcement after the controversial U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement shooting in Minneapolis. Snelling clarified that Chicago officers will not interfere with other law enforcement’s duties and stressed that any intentional attack on officers — including federal agents — is a crime and could justify a defensive response. His remarks come amid nationwide protests and debate over the fatal incident involving ICE, which has prompted demonstrations and heightened tensions around immigration enforcement.
