Two federal immigration agents carrying out an arrest in Bolingbrook claim they were struck by two people, according to Bolingbrook police officials.
The Bolingbrook Police Department released a statement about the incident on Sunday.
Neither Immigration Customs and Enforcement nor the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has yet to respond to questions about the incident from The Herald-News as of Monday morning.
Federal officials have provided no information about incidents and arrests elsewhere in Will County.
About 9:52 a.m. Sunday, officers from the Bolingbrook Police Department responded to a report of a battery in the 100 block of Williamsburg Lane.
“Responding officers were met by federal immigration agents, who related they were victims of a battery while attempting to make an arrest,” according to a statement from Bolingbrook police officials.
The ICE agents “related” they were attempting to arrest a 46-year-old man in a parking lot when two “unknown females” approached them and began striking them in the head, police said.
The two “unknown females” and the 46-year-old man fled the area on foot and entered a nearby residence, police said.
The ICE agents declined medical attention and no arrests were made, police said.
