A car drove through a crowd of demonstrators Tuesday night as hundreds of anti-ICE protesters gathered in Downtown Chicago.
The protests in Chicago come as Los Angeles has faced days of unrest.
Protests in LA began on June 7, with demonstrators setting cars on fire, throwing objects and fireworks at police officers, breaking the windows of the LAPD headquarters, and looting stores.
On Tuesday, FOX 32 Chicago released footage showing what appeared to be a woman driving through the group of Chicago demonstrators who were walking with signs and biking on Wabash and Monroe.
According to FOX 32, a police officer tried to strike the window of the moving vehicle to stop the driver, but the vehicle continued on. It remains unclear if anyone sustained injuries during the event.
Demonstrations have been popping up across the country, from Asheville, North Carolina, to Chicago to Los Angeles, where unrest broke out over the weekend following a raid. The Department of Homeland Security said ICE raids in LA over the weekend resulted in “hundreds of illegal aliens [being] arrested by ICE officers and agents,” including “many with a criminal history and criminal convictions.”

DHS listed more information about 19 suspects that ICE Los Angeles arrested on June 7 who are accused of crimes ranging from robbery to second-degree murder to rape.
“America’s brave ICE officers are removing the worst of the worst from LA’s streets, while LA’s leaders are working tirelessly against them,” DHS said in a Sunday statement as riots continued through the weekend.
