COMMENTARY OF THE DAY

      A car crash involving a U.S. Border Patrol vehicle in suburban Chicago escalated into a violent arrest caught on camera as a crowd taunted agents. The animals need to be arrested.

     The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told Fox News Digital that the violent confrontation unfolded in Evanston, Illinois, after a suspect "aggressively tailgated" a Border Patrol vehicle and "grabbed the agent’s genitals and squeezed them." The incident quickly drew what officials described as a "hostile" crowd of onlookers, devolving into chaos.

     As federal agents took the driver of the civilian vehicle into custody, several bystanders confronted them, leading to one or two additional arrests, FOX 32 Chicago reported, citing the police. Video from the scene shows an agent wrestling a suspect to the ground and striking him multiple times as bystanders shouted profanity and tried to intervene, with one person attempting to pull an agent away. Another officer was seen raising what appeared to be a can of pepper spray to hold the crowd back, while the suspect could be heard saying that he could not breathe during the struggle.

     According to DHS, the Border Patrol vehicle had been "aggressively tailgated by a red vehicle." When agents attempted to make a U-turn, the sedan collided with their car. One of the suspects then "physically assaulted" an agent by kicking and targeting his groin, prompting the officer to deliver "defensive strikes."

"A hostile crowd then surrounded agents and their vehicle and began verbally abusing them and spitting on them," DHS assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital in a statement on Sunday. "One physically assaulted a Border Patrol agent and kicked an agent. As he was being arrested, he grabbed the [agent's] genitals and squeezed them. As you know this is an extremely painful experience for most human beings and justifies certain responses, the agent delivered several defensive strikes to the agitator to free his genitals from the agitator’s vice."
