The said in a news release that the officer was trying to arrest a man who had a history of reckless driving, but he refused officers' orders and instead drove his car at them. An ICE officer who was hit and dragged by the car felt his life was threatened and opened fire, the department said.

ICE said both the officer and the driver from the shooting in the Franklin Park suburb, about 18 miles (29 kilometers) west of , were taken to a local hospital, where the suspect was pronounced dead.

“We are praying for the speedy recovery of our law enforcement officer. He followed his training, used appropriate force, and properly enforced the law to protect the public and law enforcement,� Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.

Illinois said he is aware of the shooting and demanded “a full, factual accounting of what’s happened today to ensure transparency and accountability.�

Video from the scene shows police tape and traffic cones blocking off parts of the street where a large food distribution truck and gray car can be seen from a distance. Multiple law enforcement vehicles were surrounding the area.

Erendira Rendón, chief program officer at a local advocacy group called the Resurrection Project, said the shooting “shows us the real danger that creates in our neighborhoods.�

“A community member is dead, and an officer was injured,� Rendón said in a statement. “These are outcomes that serve no public safety purpose and leave entire communities traumatized. ... When federal agents conduct unaccountable operations in our communities, everyone becomes less safe.�

Chicagoans, meanwhile, have been preparing for weekend celebrations that include parades, festivals, street parties and car caravans, despite the potential immigration crackdown.

McLaughlin said that “viral social media videos and activists encouraging illegal aliens to resist law enforcement� have made the work of ICE officers more dangerous.
